Cooking with Yellow Potatoes

Grilling gives yellow potatoes a crispy skin that enhances the dense flesh, creating a slightly sweet, caramelized flavor. The naturally smooth buttery texture makes delicious baked, roasted, or mashed potatoes. Simmer yellow potatoes until fully cooked, drain, chill, and gently “smash” into flat disks. Brown these in oil or clarified butter and serve as a side or appetizer. Then top with a garnish of your choice.
