Potatoes have differing dry content matter and specific gravity, which means that each variety has an ideal cooking method and consumer use. There are two main types of potato: floury which are better for baking, mashing, frying, roasting and making perfect golden chips; and waxy which are higher in moisture and low in starch.  They retain their shape throughout boiling and are excellent for salads, soups and casseroles.
