Yukon Gold | Local Potato From Ontario, Canada | TasteAtlas

Yukon Gold

Yukon Gold is an all-purpose potato with yellow skin and yellow flesh. These potatoes are usually round or oblong and slightly flattened. Their skin is dotted with small brown spots, while the flesh is firm, moist, and waxy. Yukon Gold potatoes were created in Canada, as a cross between the North American white potatoes and the yellow-fleshed South American potatoes.


They were first released to the market in 1980. Because of their medium-starch content, these potatoes are incredibly versatile, and they can be used in a variety of dishes. They are suitable for boiling, frying, roasting, mashing, grilling, and sautéing.


When cooked, these potatoes will have a buttery and earthy flavor.
