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 as mashed 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.
