I guess it's all with what you were raised with. I rarely buy red
potatoes, because they don't ring any bells for me. Yellow are okay,
but not my favorite. My favorite is russet. That's what my mother
baked, she also boiled them for mashed and "smashed". I didn't like
it when she got the brown, thinner skinned, not as fluffy potatoes to
boil and mash or smash.

To this day, when I buy a bag of potatoes - they are the russet
variety.
