| With more than 4000 varieties and even more combinations of dishes, potatoes are hands down the easiest, cheapest, most versatile vegetable out there!
In North America alone, there are more than 200 varieties of potatoes sold. Each one of these varieties fit into 7 potato type categories: white, russet, red, yellow, purple/blue, fingerling and petite. With all of these varieties and the different methods to cook them, it’s hard to know which potato is best. Here is a quick summary so you get the perfect potato every time: White Potatoes White Potatoes have a thin skin, so they can be easily mashed without peeling. They have a creamy texture and mild flavor make them perfect for grilling, steaming and boiling. Russet Potatoes Russet Potatoes have an earthy flavor and are the perfect choice for baking and making light, fluffy mashed potatoes. They can be cut into wedges or planks for oven fries and dipped into everything from light sour cream to your favourite ZEG sauce. Red Potatoes Red Potatoes have a thinner skin and a subtle, sweet flavor. They stay firm throughout cooking, making them ideal for stews, soups and salads. They roast perfectly and are a colourful addition as a side dish. Yellow Potatoes Yellow Potatoes are great for lighter dishes, since their golden color means that less oil or butter needs to be added. They have a naturally smooth and buttery texture lends itself to baking, roasting and mashing, as well as pan frying. Purple/Blue Potatoes Purple/Blue Potatoes have a moist, nutty and earthy flavour. They have a rich, vibrant colour that makes them a great addition to any salad. The best way to cook them is by microwaving but steaming and baking are also great ways to preserve their colour. Fingerling Potatoes Fingerling Potatoes come in multiple colours. Their size and shape make them a visually interesting addition to almost any dish. Split fingerlings roast quickly in the oven and can be served with ketchup or zesty sauces like ZEG Sauces. Petite Potatoes Petite Potatoes are bite-sized versions of larger potato varieties. While the skin, colour and flesh can come in any of the types listed above, their flavour is more concentrated. Cooked and served whole, they reduce prep time especially when roasted.
