What is the difference between Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes?

Chef's answer
Oval-shaped Russets have brown, thick skin and are usually larger than Yukon Golds. Their flesh is typically white, but sometimes appears as pale yellow. Yukon Golds have a more rounded shape than Russets, with very thin, light tan or yellow-tinged skin.
