Some potatoes are waxy and some are floury.
Waxy potatoes are usually a young type of potato. They are young
because they have been harvested earlier than other types.
Floury potatoes are usually an older type of potato. They have less
moisture in them.
Waxy potatoes are firm and hold their shape when they are cooked.
