Teton Russet is the ninth potato variety approved for McDonald’s fries in North America. The variety’s light coloring and consistent quality met the fast food chain’s standards, and the variety has proven to produce golden, crispy fries with a fluffy baked potato inside and the signature flavor McDonald’s customers love, according to the company.
Teton Russet has been around since 2011. Tubers are oblong with moderate russet, good skin and shallow eyes.
