Gold Potatoes

Gold potatoes are a variety of potato known for their smooth, thin, golden skin and buttery yellow, waxy flesh. They are a root vegetable that grows underground. Potatoes are typically harvested and then washed and sorted before being packaged for sale.

Gold potatoes are often used whole or cut in dishes like roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or potato salads. Their waxy texture holds its shape well when cooked, making them suitable for boiling and frying. They are commonly found in fresh produce sections and used in frozen appetizers and savory baked goods.

Potatoes are a good source of potassium and vitamin C. They are not subject to FDA additive regulations as they are a whole food. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not specifically evaluated potatoes as a food ingredient. Evidence suggests that potatoes, as part of a balanced diet, can contribute to overall health.
