@seachele7: Waxy potatoes are potatoes that have a more dense texture. They are not very fluffy, like baking potatoes. Many red potatoes are considered "waxy." Hope this helps! @jjj2: The directions to scoop raw potatoes into balls are correct here. It may take a while to get used to doing this with a melon baller, but you need to have the potatoes balled before they are boiled. Hope this helps!
