Russet potato

Russet potato is a versatile starchy tuber used worldwide — common in European, American and many other cuisines — and is prized for its mild flavor and ability to be baked, mashed, roasted or fried. It is primarily a source of digestible carbohydrate and also delivers a modest amount of fiber, providing about 2.2g of fiber per 100g. Beyond starch, potatoes supply vitamin C and B vitamins as well as potassium and are very low in fat, which is why they feature in both everyday home cooking and many comfort-food recipes. When prepared simply (boiled or baked without heavy fats) they make a filling, nutrient-supporting side. Potatoes tend to be quite satiating and offer a good balance of macronutrients for a plant food, with a favorable protein quality for a vegetable item; they are not a major source of polyphenol or carotenoid antioxidants compared with many colorful vegetables, so pairing them with greens or other colorful veg boosts overall nutrient variety.
