Golden- to tan-skinned potatoes: Island Sunshine

Round, medium, solid; tan skin, golden flesh. For my taste, this is what everyone says Yukon Gold is—and isn’t. Steamed, it has hearty flavor; brilliant yellow, bright clean skin; and a fine, flaky-powdery feel in the mouth. Baked, its full yellow color and rich flavor are rewarding, but its texture is less distinctive. Try it every way.
