I'm a simple emigrant, and sometimes I crave a cutlet, not with pasta, but with mashed potatoes

One would think that there's nothing simpler than just going and buying some potatoes—it's really easy. I did just that; I saw in the store that the bags came in different colors, but I thought that it didn't matter. I came home, boiled the potatoes, and they were of some strange color. It turned out that there are three types of this very potato, and they differ in their starch content. That is, depending on its content, the potato will either disintegrate quite a lot, which is suitable for mashed potatoes, or moderately, or not at all — this is suitable for various salads, so that cut cubes stay cubes. And that color labeling itself tells the buyer what is what. Green — low starch content. Red — medium, and blue — high. The latter is best suited for cutlets with mashed potatoes. So, fellow emigrants, the translator and Google are our best friends in the supermarket until you find your favorite products in this country. #emigrant_happiness #food #useful
