The Yukon Gold

February 2026

The Golden Navigator

Equally at home in a rustic mash or a high-end roast, the Yukon Gold is the ultimate all-purpose tuber. Its buttery flavor means you can go light on the actual butter (though Ducky D doesn't recommend it!).

Ducky's Quick Tip: For the perfect February comfort, boil these with the skin on, mash with roasted garlic and heavy cream, and serve alongside a hearty winter stew.
