While Steve Olson acknowledged his meal was delicious in part because of its notable set of French accompaniments, including raclette, gruyere cheese, cornichons, and creme fraiche, it seems he was most impressed by the star of the show — the potato itself. "I don't understand how a chain baked potato could be so much better than every other baked potato I've ever had."
Well, it turns out there may be an explanation. According to France Info, the potatoes La Pataterie uses are a super-exclusive variety from "Hauts-de-France," which are essentially the French equivalent of the Yukon Gold. Per the website, they are specifically grown for their texture and skin, which allows for better steaming, and therefore, a softer, more buttery bite. This tracks with Olson's review, as he literally compared the potato he ate to a Yukon Gold that was "tender, with structure perfection." In any case, it was a far cry from the brown russets you find served across the U.S.
And it seems Olson's not the only one to make note of this difference. "You must understand that Americans don't have access to those tasty potatoes," wrote one user in the comments under his review. "I had the same reaction when visiting France, everything tasted so good."
