What is the best potato for frying?
Chef's answer
RussetsThe best potatoes for frying are Yukon Gold or Russets. I've used red potatoes as well. If you use Russets you definitely want to soak them in water before frying but they will be crispier overall. Peanut oil or any light vegetable oil is necessary for the crispy crust you're looking for.
