I imagine it has quite a bit to do with the variety of potato grown as russet potato skins can be surprisingly thick and Yukon gold are razor thin. That said, both are delicious when cooked correctly but disgusting otherwise. Russian potatoes look similar to russet potatoes, for all the good that information will do you.

Potatoes are native to the Andes where there are literally hundreds of different varieties. Every valley has its own landrace variety.
