Question

[cateyes1]

What do I mean when I say "the russet potatoes were replaced by the white potatoes?"

[potluck6]

Russert potatoes are reddish in color.  Better for baking. White  are better for making a salad.  At least I think. Never heard of the Russert being replaced by white.

I have never tried to figure out the difference.  I use them interchangeably.  I know that is bad.

     Try Golden Yukon potatoes. There are sweet, soft and delicious!

[braggin]

Do you maybe mean the thick-skinned white potato called russet that is often used for baked potatoes and French fries were replaced by another white potato with a thinner skin?

[judylucas]

I prefer the Idaho ones

I love potatoes, so it doesn't matter to me what kind they are.
