Q: Why are my red potatoes yellow inside? And does this mean they’re not from Idaho?
A: Idaho grows several red potato varieties and some of the newer varieties have a yellow flesh instead of the usual white flesh.
To determine if the potatoes are from Idaho look for the “Grown In Idaho®” certification mark on the packaging. This seal guarantees that you have purchased genuine Idaho® potatoes. You can find all of our Idaho® potato varieties here: https://idahopotato.com/directory/varieties
