+=====Some basics=====
+  ***which type of potato?**
+    * "starchy" potatoes include Sebago, the brown brushed ones in supermarket, tend to cook faster and are starchy, white, fluffy/floury inside and are good for mashing, baking and roasting
+    * "waxy" potatoes such as Nicola, Desiree or Dutch creams, usually have yellowish flesh and hold their shape better so are good for boiling for salads (or served with olive oil and vinegar, or with butter), steaming or in stews or curries
+    * "mid-range" potatoes are all rounders and include red potatoes and new "low carb" potatoes
+    * for best nutrition, leave the skins on and boiling your potatoes, then letting them cool down or having them the next day, lowers their GI value.
+    * NB. sweet potatoes are a totally different family and are low GI if boiled but GI goes up when roasted or baked
