Which potato has more starch?
It's impossible to say which potato has *more* starch without knowing which specific potatoes you're comparing! Potato starch content can vary greatly depending on the variety, growing conditions, and even storage time.
Here's a general guideline:
* Starchy Potatoes: These are best for mashing, baking, and frying because they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture. Examples include:
* Russet (Idaho)
* Yukon Gold
* Red Bliss
* Bintje
* Waxy Potatoes: These have a lower starch content, making them ideal for salads, boiling, and roasting as they hold their shape well and have a firm texture. Examples include:
* Fingerling
* Red Potatoes
* New Potatoes
