Seasons/Availability
Yukon creamer potatoes are available year-round.
Selection/Storage
When selecting Yukon creamer potatoes, look for firm, unwrinkled skins that are free of bruises and dark spots. Choose potatoes that feel heavy for their size as they have a higher water content. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use within one week of purchase. Yukon creamer potatoes can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It is best to store them separately from other fruits and vegetables as premature ripening will occur if kept together in the same area.
Usage
Yukon creamer potatoes are an incredibly versatile potato variety due to their creamy texture when cooked. They can be boiled, mashed, roasted, baked, sautéed, or fried. Yukon creamer potatoes make a delicious accompaniment to roasted meats, grilled fish, and various vegetable dishes. They are also great for making potato salads and hash browns. For an added flavor boost, try seasoning Yukon creamer potatoes with chopped garlic, fresh herbs, butter, Parmesan cheese, or bacon bits before roasting in the oven. Yukon creamer potatoes can be used as a substitute for traditional potatoes in any dish.
Nutritional Value
Yukon creamer potatoes are high in vitamin C and offer small amounts of other essential vitamins like B6 and B3. They provide dietary fiber as well as minerals including potassium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. Additionally, they are low in fat and a good source of carbohydrates.
