About White potato

White potato is a potato variety group with pale skin and white or cream flesh. The tubers have a mild, earthy flavour; texture after cooking varies, with some types remaining firm and others becoming soft and fluffy.

White potatoes are sold fresh and used boiled, roasted, mashed or fried. Their texture and cooking behaviour depend on the specific variety and storage, so “white potato” does not identify a single cultivar or guarantee a particular result in cooking.
