hotdog water :
Yukon Gold have a much better flavor than the other two, honestly. I use them in almost every application that calls for potatoes.

Afrodite :
That makes sense why I only like red potatoes in pot roast. They hold their potatoeness the best.

Life hack do 2/3 Yukon 1/3 russet. I did it once out of necessity and I’ll never go back

There’s a time and place for each. I think russet is the best for thanksgiving style mashed potatoes and gravy, yukon is great for serving with meat like pork chop or beef, and red is perfect for skin garlic and herb mashed potatoes.

Russets make the best loaded baked potato. Yukon golds are a good mash; slightly sweeter and using less cream and butter. Red potatoes are great for crisp and fried potatoes.

I do 3 russets and 1 Yukon for a big pot of mashed potatoes and it gives a really nice creamy texture

despite knowing nothing about the science I have never even considered making mashed potatoes with red potatoes.

I don’t like russet for mashed potatoes - they are gritty. Yukon gold are MUCH smoother as mashed potatoes.

We usually use gold, but I'll swear by the reds. I am not looking for fluffy potatoes I want smooth potatoes.

alo :
do they not have terms for how potatoes cook in english? in germany, we barely ever see the names of potatoes in the store, but our potato bags are rather marked with how they cook- festkochend (solid-cooking) or mehligkochend (starchy-cooking)!

Reds for frying and roasts. Russet for mash. Not sure I've ever cooked a Yukon gold.
