Any potato can be baked, but Russets are the classic choice for baking, fries, hash browns, potato pancakes/latkes, and they make the fluffiest mashed potatoes. If you don’t know what potatoes to use in a recipe, you’ll be safe with white potatoes such as Onaway, Elba, and Yukon Gold. These are considered all-purpose potatoes. They are creamy when baked, yet hold their texture when boiled.
