What sort of potato do you like? Floury, waxy, don't care as long as its early!?

And can you get to any of the potato days where you can buy by the tuber, or are we taking what you can get by the large bag at a typical garden centre?

Very Happy

I love Nadine and Wilja and have grown both in car tyre stacks very sucsessfully but they are waxy ones which I like best because I mainly boil my spuds and like them to hold their shape and not turn to mush in the pan.
