Explanation:
http://www.foodsubs.com/Potatoes.html#boiling potatoes -
boiling potato = waxy potato = low-starch potato Notes: Potatoes in this category hold their shape after cooking, so they're great for making potato salads and scalloped potatoes. They're not good for mashing, baking, or making fries. Types of boiling potatoes are new potatoes, fingerling potatoes, round white potatoes, and round red potatoes
