bintje kartofler


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

disagree  Mette Melchior: According to Den Danske Ordbog a "bintje" is:"oval kartoffel med hvid skræl og lysegult kød" (see www.sproget.dk). Here "waxy" is used as a general description of the texture of the potatoes, as Christine writes.

Reference: Waxy potatoes

Reference information:
"These are more solid than floury potatoes and hold their shape when boiled, but do not mash well. They are particularly suitable for baked and layered potato dishes such as Boulangère potatoes. Popular varieties include Cara and Charlotte."
