What's the best potato?

[Morrus]

Using whatever criteria for 'best' you choose. It's about the potato specically, not the whole dish (eg cottage or shepherd's pie count as mashed, poutine is French fries, a Sunday roast is generally roast potatoes, etc.)

I've used the names I know. I've tried to accommodate foreign names where I can, but if confused about terminology, Google is your friend.

You only get one choice, so let us know which is your top, most favourite potato, and why it is roast potatoes.

My favorite is seasoned roasted baby golden potatoes, cooked it a Dutch oven with chicken thighs (or pot roast) and carrots. Or just cut 'em in half and roast them on a pan. Crispy outside and creamy inside.

You don't want to know what this means in the UK!
