Los Angeles, California (2022) – Potatoes are the number one vegetable crop in the US and the world's fourth largest food crop (after rice, wheat, and corn). While there are more than 4,300 varieties around the world, the reigning king of all potatoes still remains as the russet. This variety has a medium-thin brown edible skin and white interior very high in starch that becomes fluffy and flaky when cooked, which is the key to their popularity. Russets are the preferred variety for baked potatoes, hash browns and French Fries.
Melissa’s Baby Russet Potatoes moves this tasty variety from the side dish menu to the appetizer tray! Our convenient pack of 6-8 tiny tubers can be made into two-bite smashed potatoes, mini loaded potatoes and potato skins, roasted halves in olive oil or any number of unique and delicious finger foods that will be the life of any party!
