Choosing potato varieties for the middle zone

They say: "potatoes are the second bread." And for good reason! It is very difficult to find a garden or cottage that does not have potatoes. On the table, this culture occupies almost the main place in every family. And to write down all the recipes for preparing potato dishes, not a single cookbook is enough.
