Potatoes - Kipfler
The kipfler variety is elongated finger shapes with pale yellow skin and yellow flesh. The kipfler potato is from Germany.
It's a great tasting waxy potato with a lower GI than many of the high starch varieties. What that means is that it won't raise your blood sugar levels too quickly and is therefore a better potato for people with diabetes.

Select unwashed potatoes that are firm and dry. Avoid any with green patches - the green is an indication of the toxin solanine. Avoid also potatoes that are wrinkled and spongy.

They will store well in a paper bag away from sunlight.

Note: when peeled, the level of salicylates drops to safe/negligible amounts.
