About Yellow potato
A yellow potato is a potato variety or market type with yellow to golden flesh and usually yellowish skin. Its flesh is commonly smooth and moist, with a buttery, mildly earthy flavour; texture can range from waxy to moderately starchy depending on the cultivar.
Yellow potatoes are boiled, roasted, mashed, and used in soups and other cooked dishes. They are sold fresh and may also be peeled, cut, frozen, or otherwise processed; the exact cultivar and preparation are not specified by the general name.
