Yukon Gold Potatoes
Yukon Gold potatoes are most distinctly characterized by their thin, smooth, eye-free skin with flesh that is yellow to gold, firm, moist and waxy. When cooked, Yukon Gold potatoes take on a creamy and tender consistency with a rich, buttery flavor and can be used in both dry and wet-heat cooking methods, allowing them to be versatile and used in a variety of culinary applications.
First bred in western Canada, their namesake pays homage to the Yukon River and gold rush country and is a nod to its golden-hued flesh and skin. Yukon Gold potatoes are best suited for cooked applications such as roasting, grilling, frying, mashing, sautéing, and boiling. Extremely versatile, these potatoes can be boiled and mashed or used to make gratins, hash browns, and purees. Yukon Gold potatoes are also a popular potato choice for French fries. They pair well with cream, butter, garlic, bacon, cheese, fried and scrambled eggs, and herbs such as oregano, cilantro, sage, basil, and tarragon.
