An Idaho potato is any potato grown in the state of Idaho. It is not an actually variety. However Russet Burbank potatoes are closely associated with Idaho because that is the potato most often produced of the 30 plus varieties grown there. The Russet Burbank in particular is starchy and a multi-use potato.
I typically buy them for about 50 cents a pound in five pound bags. The price fluctuates as of this year 2010, between $1.99 and $3.99 a 5 lb. bag in central Texas. They are usually cheaper in 10 or 20 pound bags, and I am sure they are cheaper in Idaho.
Russett potatoes are starchy, making them great for mashed or baked potatoes. Red potatoes are less starchy and are used for salads, they do not get muschy.
