Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What type of vegetable is a kipfler?"
...Kipflers are small to medium sized potatoes. This places them in the vegetable category. They are long and narrow with a finger-like, cigar shape. The Kipfler's thin skin is slightly lumpy and light brown to dusty yellow. The flesh is waxy and smooth with a yellowish hue. They add a nutty, buttery taste with a creamy texture to the vegetable selection on the dinner table. They are also called the "German finger" potato and the "Austrian Crescent" potato. They are rich in vitamin C, potassium, manganese, fiber and copper. Kipflers are great for baking, roasting and boiling, but they are not recommended for cooking applications requiring frying or mashing. Source: SpecialtyProduce.com
