These Idaho potatoes come packaged in a 5 lb retail bag of whole tubers. They are commonly used for baking, roasting, pan-frying, making mashed potatoes, fries, and adding hearty texture to soups and stews. To choose the best potatoes, look for firm, unbruised tubers without sprouts or soft spots. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area and use within a few weeks for best quality. Rinse and scrub before cooking; no peeling required for many preparations.
