The russet. A staple in my house for so many reasons. Number one being the perfect French fry! Growing up the russet potato reigned supreme in our family too. I remember my job was always to go grab four potatoes from downstairs in our cold storage room. Whether it was for hash browns, mashed potatoes or on those rare occasions, scalloped. It’s no wonder you see huge bags of russets at the grocery store. They’re so versatile. I can’t even believe how many different dishes you can make from a russet. If it was up to my kids we would have homemade fries or potato wedges with every meal. Not a bad request when you can easily bake them instead of frying….
