Try King Edwards, Rooster or Cara if you can get them, or any floury type of potato you have over there!!!

Roosters and cara's are irish potatoes and are the same as your reds and yukon gold, as for king edward they are a similar spud but none of them are floury which is what you need. Baking russets work fine as long as they are sliced and held in cold water for an hour, overnight is better in the fridge.
