Yellow Potatoes
Yellow potatoes are medium-starch potatoes with smooth, thin skin and creamy yellow flesh. Popular varieties include Yukon Gold and other yellow-fleshed potatoes. They have a naturally buttery, slightly sweet flavor and a moist, creamy texture that becomes smooth and tender when cooked. Yellow potatoes are versatile enough for roasting, boiling, mashing, baking, grilling, and sautéing. Their balanced starch content allows them to hold their shape reasonably well while also becoming soft and creamy, making them a good choice for both side dishes and hearty main dishes.

Choosing
Choose yellow potatoes that are firm, smooth, and heavy for their size. The skin should be free from soft spots, deep cuts, significant bruising, mold, or excessive wrinkling. Avoid potatoes with large green areas, as green skin can indicate the presence of naturally occurring compounds that should not be eaten in large amounts. Small sprouts can be removed before cooking, but potatoes with extensive sprouting or a shriveled appearance are best avoided. Smaller potatoes are convenient for roasting and boiling, while larger potatoes work well for mashing, baking, and slicing.
