All I want to know is if they are the floury kind or the waxy kind, or some in between hybrid. Floury potatoes are so hard to find these days. Almost everyone is growing these "allrounder" hybrids that cannot really be fried or roasted. I imagine these are also some kind of in between hybrid.
In my super market we usually have three kinds of potatos: festkochend (probably what you mean with waxy), vorwiegend festkochend (somewhere in between), weichkochend (maybe what you mean with floury, they fall appart easily)
Weichkochend, really? I've only ever seen mehligkochend (floury), but yeah those are widely available in supermarkets.
They were Agria, mehligkochend (not waxy): https://4000-tonnen.de/faq.html
'Maris piper' are very common in the UK that I'd say are floury.
