  • A Foodservice Guide to Fresh Potato Types POTATOES
    THE PERFECT POTATO A Foodservice Guide to Fresh Potato Types POTATOES. THE PERFECT CANVAS FOR MENU INNOVATION. Potatoes aren’t just popular: they’re the #1 side dish in foodservice. You know that baked, mashed, roasted or fried, they have the remarkable ability to sell whatever you serve with them, enhancing presentations and adding value and appetite appeal. Now that you can tap into the intriguing shapes, colors and flavors of today’s exciting new potato types, innovation is easier than ever. No wonder so many chefs, from casual to fine dining, are reinventing potatoes in fresh new ways. So go ahead, grab a handful of potatoes and start thinking big. 1 A SPUD FOR ALL SEASONS AND REASONS. There are more than 4,000 potato varieties worldwide—though only a small fraction is commercialized. In the U.S., about 100 varieties are sold throughout the year to consistently meet the needs of the market. All of these varieties fit into one of five potato type categories: russet, red, white, yellow and specialty (including blue/purple, fingerling and petite). GET CREATIVE! We’ve created these at-a-glance potato type charts to help you find the right potato for any culinary purpose. Use them as a source of inspiration. Even when a potato type is recommended for a given application, another type may also work well to create a similar effect—or even a completely different, yet equally appealing result. Experiment with the types you have access to in new ways you haven’t tried. That’s the key to true menu innovation.

Management of late blight on a worldwide scale was conservatively estimated to be 6.7 billion dollars in 2009 (Hu et al., 2012). Fungicides are used to manage late blight since most major potato cultivars lack foliar and tuber resistance (Porter et al., 2004; Miller et al., 2006). The predominant strains of P. infestans impacting potato production have changed over time in the Northwest and across the U.S. The newest strains of P. infestans include US-22, US-23 and US-24 (Danies, 2013). These strains are replacing the US-11 and US-8 strains in some locations. Due to the changing strains of P. infestans infecting potato, it is important for potato breeders to find potato lines with resistance to current and past strains of P. infestans to establish stable resistance. Although the foliage of most major potato cultivars grown in the Pacific Northwest is susceptible to infection by P. infestans, that doesn’t mean the tubers are susceptible.
