Desiree v Maris Piper potatoes

Reds are often waxy potatoes and can make quite sticky mash. I normally stick with whites for mash. King Edwards make amazing tasting mash - really, er, potatoey :D
 
Waxy potatoes like Desiree are better for dishes like Pommes dauphinois aux gratin, just don't wash them after slicing.
Maris Piper are my preferred for roast or mashed.
 
Don't know what potatoes we have in the cupboard at the moment but they're awful for mash. Makes something akin to wallpaper paste...
 
I'm a King Edward guy myself. Mainly because they're one of the best to grow as they're pretty disease resistant. Also theyre a really good all rounder for roasting or mashing.
