Waxy Potatoes

Waxy Potatoes are small, firm-skinned potatoes prized in many cuisines for holding their shape after boiling and roasting — they’re commonly used in salads, stews and skillet dishes. They provide a modest amount of protein and are especially notable for their carbohydrate content and texture, making them a convenient starchy side. Nutrition-wise they contribute dietary fiber, with about 2.2g per 100g, and are a useful source of vitamin C and vitamin B6 compared with many other starchy sides. Overall, they are filling and nutrient-dense for a tuber: they tend to promote satiety, supply useful micronutrients, and have a good amino-acid profile for a plant food, though they are not a major source of antioxidant polyphenols or carotenoids.
