One of the first things we got excited about when it was decided that we would live in Ecuador is potatoes (we’re weirdos). Ecuador has a ton of potato varieties – they say 350 native potatoes are available.

In the previous video, we went to the market to buy a selection of spuds. In this video, I’m comparing their shape, color, texture, flesh, skin, and even their taste. I’ll give you some information about Chola, Cecelia, Chaucha, Capiro, Unica, and Leona Negra potatoes. Six varieties of potatoes, two taters each. That’s a lot of potatoes to eat, so I make up a 6 potatoes variety salad with a simple recipe for Russian potato salad Ecuadorian style. That seems a bit strange to say, but it is kind of a thing in Ecuador – Russian potato salad. Actually, I got the recipe from the lady at the potato stall that sold me all the spuds.
Living in Ecuador is exciting, and potatoes are a very small part of this. However, I’m looking forward to adapting my potato recipes to the various types of potatoes available in Ecuador. It’s another fun perk of living in Ecuador.
