5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT POTATOES

Not all potatoes are created equal. Whether waxy, all-purpose or floury, each variety offers a distinct balance of texture and starch. Waxy potatoes hold their shape beautifully, making them ideal for salads, boiled potatoes with dill or classic råraka. Floury varieties, by contrast, break down into a light, airy consistency—perfect for smooth purées, dumplings or soups. All-purpose potatoes sit comfortably in between, lending themselves to gratins, roasting and everyday cooking. Knowing these differences allows for a more precise and refined approach in the kitchen.
