With a starch content of up to 22%, the Russet potato consistently ranks as the leading answer to the question, "what potato has the highest amount of starch?". This high starch-to-moisture ratio is precisely what gives it a famously dry, fluffy texture ideal for specific cooking applications.

Waxy potatoes, which are naturally high in moisture and low in starch, are considered the most moist potatoes available. These varieties are the best choice for dishes where you want the potato to hold its shape while staying creamy and tender, such as salads, soups, and gratins.
