There are about 5,000 potato varieties worldwide. Three thousand of them are found in the Andes alone, mainly in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia. They belong to eight or nine species, depending on the taxonomic school.
They are among the most common types of potatoes. The Russet variety has a brown, tough skin with white flesh and is very high in starch. Normally they are bigger than the yellow and red types. The Russets also last longer than yellow and red ones when kept on the proper conditions (dark, cool and dry storage area).
