Tastes and textures...Yukon gold and finger potatoes are more of a potatoe for gourmet...the lil red potatoes almost have a buttery taste built into them and are great left whole boiled and covered in butter and garlic...then you get russets...america's perfect masher/baker!!

Red or pink potatoes are good for boiling and mash. . Brown potatoes are good for baking because they hold their shape. . Yellow potatoes are good for salads because again they hold their shape but their not as starchy
