Baker Potato

A large baker potato, often a Russet variety, is a starchy, oval-shaped potato known for its thick, brown, rough skin and light, fluffy interior. Its high starch content makes it ideal for baking, as it yields a tender, airy texture when cooked. This variety is typically large in size, making it perfect for "loaded" baked potatoes, which can be topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, or bacon. The skin becomes crisp when baked, providing a satisfying contrast to the soft inside. Besides baking, large baker potatoes are also great for mashing, roasting, and making French fries. They are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and B vitamins, adding nutrition to their culinary versatility.
