Idaho produces several varieties of Russet potatoes, such as the classic Premiere Russet, Western Russet, Umatilla Russet, Classic Russet and Ranger Russet. Even though Idaho produces a lot of Russets, they also put the Idaho name on red, golden and blue varieties with low, medium or high starch contents.
