    Well I'm no expert but..........
    A floury type will just disintegrate during cooking. I would suggest that you would be better with a firmer waxey potato.
    T'internet would suggest King Edwards...

    I think that Desiree, King Edwards or Maris Piper would be OK, because they are three of the best all round potatoes.
