What are good potatoes for baking?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Russet potatoes are the classic choice for good reason. Russets are high in starch and low in moisture, which makes them nice and fluffy after baking. Their thick skin crisps up well, too. Choose medium-sized potatoes, each around the same size (about one-half pound) so they're all done at the same time. 8 нояб. 2021 г.


Are russet potatoes the same as baking potatoes?

Russets are often called baking potatoes since the brown-skinned, oblong-shaped potatoes are most often used for baked potatoes. They're also the most popular potato used for french fries and comprise 90 percent of Idaho's overall potato crop.

Can you use any potato for baking?

Russet potatoes make the best-baked potatoes because of their thick skin and starchy, fluffy interior (once baked, of course). Leave the waxy potatoes for halving and roasting with some rosemary. Those russets you're about to eat came from the ground and are probably still covered in a considerable amount of dirt.
