Relatively light-yellow skin color, with a yellow interior and moist flesh. Shallow eyes that are well distributed. A medium specific gravity.
Originally marketed as having a buttery flavor, which comes from a combination of the yellow flesh and moist texture. Good potato flavor.
In foodservice, chefs have gravitated to the Yukon Gold image as a positive one for menu branding. Primarily used in mashed potatoes and in salad preparations. Roasting or boiling are also popular cooking procedures.
Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
