Gala potatoes are a versatile variety well-suited for cooked applications such as steaming, boiling, frying, and roasting. The tuber’s firm flesh holds its shape once cooked, and the skin is easy-to-peel and won’t discolor once sliced. Gala potatoes can be used in any recipe calling for table potatoes.

The potatoes can be boiled whole and served as a simple side dish, or the boiled potatoes can be mashed, riced, or pureed to create a smoother consistency. The tubers can also be sliced into strips and cooked into fries, cubed and roasted, shredded and fried into patties, or cut and tossed into soups and stews.
