What it is

Yukon potatoes are a variety of potato known for their thin, smooth, yellow skin and waxy, yellow flesh. They are a type of potato, grown from the plant Solanum tuberosum. Unlike starchy potatoes, they hold their shape well when cooked.

Why it's used

Yukon potatoes are often used in potato salads, roasted dishes, and mashed potatoes because they maintain a creamy texture and don't fall apart easily. Their mild, buttery flavor makes them versatile for many savory applications. They are frequently found in prepared meals and deli salads.
