It is said the Idaho Russet is the epitome of what a great looking and tasting potato is, and many agree. These same russet varieties are grown elsewhere in the United States with some arguing they taste as good or better from these other regions. We say, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Which is why we grow and ship from every region in the US that can and do grow russet variety potatoes which fulfill our rigorous requirements for quality, taste, and texture.

Red and Yellow potatoes typically grow everywhere russets do and then a whole bunch more places making them a very versatile potato available in every corner of the country.
