How To Shop for and Select Potatoes
Shopping for potatoes at the grocery store is easy to do! Unlike other produce, potatoes show you who they are at a glance.
Choose potatoes with the following features.
- Limited 'eye' or indents
- Full skin, not shriveled
- No sprouting or the little green or white 'spikes' that indicate over exposure to light.
- No green spots
How Should I Store Potatoes?
Store potatoes in a cool, dark location in your kitchen, pantry, storage room or even garage.
Don't refrigerate potatoes as storing them at temperatures below 40 degrees F can increase the amount of sugar they contain.
More sugar in potatoes results in producing higher levels of a chemical called acrylamide when the potatoes are baked, fried or roasted at high temperatures.
If potatoes sprout or show green patches, compost them and don't cook them.
Sprouted or green on potatoes indicates the presence of solanine and chaconine, two natural toxins that in certain amounts can make a person ill.
What Type of Potato Should I Use for Different Recipes?
My savory roasted garlic mashed potatoes recipe calls for a classic tuber option, the russet potato.
This starchy version is ubiquitous in the market and very affordable making it a great option for lots of potato recipes.
Here's a short breakdown of tuber types for reference.
Starchy Potatoes
Varieties: Russet, yams
Characteristics: beautiful when mashed and whipped, break down when boiled
Uses: great for baking, roasting, mashing, double-baking, frying
Waxy Potatoes
Varieties: red, fingerlings
Characteristics: dense, hold their shape when boiled
Uses: roasting, boiling, frying, smashed/baked
All Purpose Potatoes
Varieties: Yukon Gold, white, yellow
Characteristics: blend of starchy and waxy, medium density
Uses: great for roasting, smashing, mashing
