From the go-to POPULAR Russet Burbank to the delectable Yukon Gem, we’re proud to VARIETIES offer you the best potatoes from the best earth on Earth™. BACKGROUND: Developed in 1914 by Lou Sweet, a previous RUSSET BURBANK president of the Potato Association of America. Scientist Luther Burbank is credited with the discovery of the original seeds. While Idaho growers have successfully produced many varieties over the years, the Russet Burbank is their greatest commercial success and has established a strong brand equity for the state. A late-maturing variety that requires a 140- to 150-day growing season. APPEARANCE: The exterior skin is relatively thin and light brown in color. The exterior shape is oval and slightly flattened, with few shallow eyes. The interior is off-white to ivory and moderately dense. FLAVOR PROFILE: A distinctive, earthy potato flavor. The high solid (starch) yields a grainy texture and slightly chewy skin. Bakes up dry and fluffy; fries crisp and golden brown. USAGE: Fresh, frozen, or dehydrated, this variety is ideal for all preparation styles. BACKGROUND: Released in 1987 by North Dakota State RUSSET NORKOTAH University, this variety now ranks second in popularity for fresh-market use. Attractive type (refers to consistent oval shape); a high percentage of No. 1 potatoes is common with this early-maturing variety. APPEARANCE: Excellent conformation; attractive medium- brown color with a long to oblong shape. FLAVOR PROFILE: A mild potato flavor with a soft texture and moderate density. Tends to bake up creamy and moist, not grainy. Moderately chewy skin. White to pale yellow interior. Medium specific gravity for most; newer generations grown in Idaho have higher starch content. USAGE: Grown primarily for the fresh market. Because of the uniform appearance, has had good success in the retail grocery segment and foodservice. Well suited to all preparation types. 2 www.idahopotato.com ALTURAS RUSSET BANNOCK RUSSET BLAZER RUSSET BACKGROUND: A late-maturing, BACKGROUND: Bannock Russet was BACKGROUND: Named a variety in high-yielding russet potato released in 1999 by the USDA 2005, this is one of the newest cultivar with a high tuber Agricultural Research Service graduates of the potato-breeding specific gravity that was released and the Agricultural Experiment program of U.S. university in 2002 by the USDA/ARS and Stations of Idaho, Oregon, research scientists in the the Agricultural Experiment and Washington.

  • Potato Glossary
    A Potato Glossary A Potato Glossary by Richard E. Tucker Last revised 15 Sep 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Richard E. Tucker Introduction This glossary has been prepared as a companion to A Potato Chronology. In that work, a self-imposed requirement to limit each entry to a single line forced the use of technical phrases, scientific words, jargon and terminology that may be unfamiliar to many, even to those in the potato business. It is hoped that this glossary will aid those using that chronology, and it is hoped that it may become a useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about potatoes, farming and gardening. There was a time, a century or more ago, when nearly everyone was familiar with farming life, the raising of potatoes in particular and the lingo of farming in general. They were farmers themselves, they had relatives who farmed, they knew someone who was a farmer, or they worked on a nearby farm during their youth. Then, nearly everyone grew potatoes in their gardens and sold the extra. But that was a long ago time. Now the general population is now separated from the farm by several generations. Only about 2 % of the US population lives on a farm and only a tiny few more even know anyone who lives on a farm. Words and phrases used by farmers in general and potato growers in particular are now unfamiliar to most Americans. Additionally, farming has become an increasingly complex and technical endeavor. Research on the cutting edge of science is leading to new production techniques, new handling practices, new varieties, new understanding of plant physiology, soil and pest ecology, and other advances too numerous to mention.

  • 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.

Enjoy this pictorialpotatoland Diary of The Idaho® potato harvest tour where bloggers, chefs, and food writers had the opportunity to visit our beautiful state for a little hands-on potato education. Our guests visited potato farms, sheds and processing facilities and sampled a lot of different (and delicious) potato preparations over the course of the three-day tour. While they learned what makes Idaho® potatoes the best—including the ideal climate (warm days and cool nights) and soil that is rich with volcanic materials—they also experienced the passion of folks in the industry first hand. It’s a passion that’s definitely contagious. Be sure to enjoy some post-tour chef, blogger and writer recipes included in this directory that were inspired by the tour.
