Product description.

Russet potatoes are large, oblong tubers with a rough, brown skin and dry, fluffy white flesh when cooked. They are prized for their high starch content, making them ideal for baking, mashing, and roasting. Known for their light, airy texture and mild flavor, Russets are a staple in foodservice and institutional kitchens. Their versatility and consistent performance make them a preferred choice for both scratch cooking and value-added frozen products like mashed potatoes, fries, and wedges. Rich in potassium and a good source of vitamin C, Russet potatoes are also creditable as a starchy vegetable in USDA Child Nutrition Programs.

For products made with raw Russet potatoes, approximately 100 grams (or about 3.5 ounces) yields the equivalent ½ cup serving after cooking.
