Russet Potatoes

These are ungraded russets of various sizes. The Russet Burbank potato is probably the most studied potato cultivar in North America and is considered standard of comparison for French frying. The Russet (meaning rough) Burbank potato was given its name due to the texture of its skin. Inside the large Russet Burbank potato's fine, sandpaper-textured, ruddy-colored skin is a firm, low-sugar, moist and starchy flesh that becomes fluffy and light when cooked.
