Waxy potatoes are the perfect choice for dishes that require a potato with a firm texture and moist consistency, such as potato salads. Boiling and steaming are the best cooking methods for waxy potatoes, as these cooking methods help to maintain the shape and firmness of the potatoes. Popular waxy varieties include Red Bliss, German Butterball, Yukon Gold, White Rose, and All-Purpose potatoes. Red Bliss potatoes have a little sweet flavor and are widely used in potato salads as they have a firm texture even after they have been cooked. German Butterball potatoes have an earthy flavor and golden yellow flesh, which makes them an ideal choice for boiling, roasting or mashing. Yukon Golds are known for their creamy texture when boiled or mashed and their golden hue when roasted. White Rose potatoes have a light yellow flesh that is intensely flavored when boiled but remains firm enough to hold their shape during grilling or roasting. All-Purpose potatoes are one of the most versatile varieties as they can be used in any dish requiring boiled, mashed or roasted potatoes - from simply boiled potatoes to complex, buttery mashed dishes.
