message: Why are the potatoes in the picture all gross and scaly looking? I have some Russet potatoes with me and they look nothing like that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.84.247 (talk) 16:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I think that is because the russet potatoes dont always look the same. Sometimes you can get nice looking ones and they look good to eat, but sometimes they are bad,or have sugar ends and they just look bad. If that helps.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CoreyHart (talk • contribs) 19:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

text: They're not "gross" and scaly looking.  That's how they usually appear when the skin is thoroughly washed and slightly damp.  The Russet Burbank potatoes in stores are completely dry and have traces of dust and soil still on them, giving them a more uniform, grayish appearance. — QuicksilverT @ 06:12, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I heard these are the preferred potatoes of McDonalds, which I believe is by far the largest potato buyer in the world. Which makes these the most grown potato variety. Or something like that. Anyways, it seems like there should be some sort of mention of McDonalds in relation to this potato.  220.76.15.122 (talk) 18:04, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As a former senior manager for McDonald's NZ I can confirm that this the worldwide potato of choice for the company  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.1.117 (talk) 03:28, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

===Article scope===
Whether moved or not, the article needs work. 
One option is to rescope it to all potato varieties that are referred to as the russet potato. It's halfway there now, there seem to be images of two different varieties. 
Alternatively, and in view of the current redirect from russet potato, perhaps we should have a section on other russet potatoes. There seem to be good sources for such material. That would be my suggestion for now, and see how it develops along those lines. Andrewa (talk) 00:50, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

message: The opening sentence describes the Russet Burbank as having "few eyes", but the last sentence of Botanical features says that "There are numerous eyes on the potato". These cannot both be right, though I don't know which is right and which is wrong.  — Ben Liblit (talk) 02:01, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
