I make smashed potatoes with them. Boil in a pot until soft. Smash each one. Brush with olive oil and spices. Bake on a real cookie sheet lined with parchment. Crispy and creamy and delicious.

Red is good for roasted potatoes. Leave the skin on (scrub them), cut into large cubes, add oil, garlic and spices and roast until brown.
Idaho is good for kugel. I think Idaho is like allmourpose, good for everything.

Red potato’s are better for things that cook a really long tome like stews, Cholent, goulash.
Because the potato’s don’t get mushy so fast, they also freeze better, if your freezing leftover stew.

We get what's called the "wax" potatoes. The red ones, and the white ones. Both have very thin skin, and don't mash up very well. They taste exactly the same.

They hold their shape great in cholent, but when you need them to be softer, they never really get there no matter how long you cook them. It's just not the same at all.

Now tell them how many types of onions we have.

Kugel made with yukon gold potatoes is delicious! (I don't always do it because they are more expensive usually!) Try it!!!
