While a trip to the grocery store might yield a handful of potato options, the truth is that Potatoes USA reports that there are over "200 varieties of potatoes sold in the United States." Even though there are just "seven potato type categories: russet, red, white, yellow, blue/purple, fingerling and petite," the debate over the best potato for a particular cooking method will never end. Whereas one chef swears by russet potatoes for French Fries, another chef will only use that type for mashed potatoes.
The biggest takeaway from the spuds spectacle is to know that not all potatoes are the same. To that end, it's best to understand each potato's characteristics and how those factors will play in a recipe. Flavor and texture need to be considered when picking a potato for a particular dish.
While Guarnaschelli might have wanted to settle a food debate, she might have just passed the hot potato.
