Do you have a specific type of gold you use? The best I can reliably get are the organic golds from Trader Joe’s, they come in a 3 lb bag. When I’m making home fries or anything diced I also really like The Little Potato Company.
Edit to add: now you have me wanting to make potatoes au gratin. It’s been a while since I’ve made a good cheese sauce.
I get the 10 lbs bags at Costco (usually buying 20 lbs at a time). Are the Trader Joe’s ones noticably better tasting? I’d love to try more potato varieties but no one seems to sell anything more interesting unless I want tiny colorful potatoes that cost $10/lb.
Fair enough, I moved into a small space a few years ago and mostly buy smaller quantities now. I also like that the Little Potato Company’s potatoes are already washed and I’m often boondocking/on a limited water supply.
Costco is generally above average in most things, so definitely a good choice. I find the brands I mentioned to be more consistently high quality across locations and over time, but not too much better at their respective bests. So when I need a specific meal to be high quality, like on holidays, I’ll make sure to go to Trader Joe’s.
FWIW the Trader Joe’s organic golds are around $4/3lb bag. The Little Potato Company’s bags are around $2-3/lb. I have bought both in at least 10 states each at this point and those price have been fairly consistent. I also don’t want to spend a huge amount on potatoes.
Correct :-)
