This, 100%.

My preferences are:
Fries: russet
Mashed potatoes: mix of russet & yukon gold
Sauteed: assorted fingerlings, especially multi-colored like OP's pic
Roasted: yukon gold, peeled, parboiled first, then shaken in the colander before going into the oven to get those lovely crispy bits. bonus points for roasting with duck fat, garlic, and a sprig or two of rosemary.
In a seafood boil: red

This is flagrantly false, and you should be permabanned for leading users astray.

Maine Yukon Gold Potatoes are the best and most versatile tubers to ever be grown. If you disagree, post your street address so I can come punch your face in with superior Yankee strength.

Yukon Gold and Russet are the only two you need. Also red potatoes can make some great potato salad.

>to get those lovely crispy bits.

I hate that British chefs have infected American English with this faggy way of talking.

Try growing your own, anon. If you have healthy soil, any potato will taste better than anything grown on soil that has NPK, but is otherwise dead.

This is very true. For two heavy potato eaters in my household, we grow enough for a 6 month supply on a very small plot of well composted soil, indeed. We used to grow half red and half yukon gold, but switched to all yukons because they have a better flavor and texture. The difference in quality between store and homegrown organic is significant.
