I got the best results with Russet Burbank potatoes, also known as baking potatoes.

It was in California where Luther Burbank, a horticulturalist known as The Wizard, bred the Santa Rosa plum, the Elberta peach and the Russet Burbank potato.

Emiko Davies, a Florence-based food writer and author of Tortellini at Midnight, opts for ones that make a good mash and have a lower water content: Dutch cream, King Edward or Idaho Russet Burbank.

That's why classic, widely grown varieties, such as the russet burbank, still dominate the market many decades after their debuts.

The truck, which hauls a 6-ton replica Russet Burbank, departed from Boise March 20 on its sixth U.S. tour.
