Pretty much the exact same thing here in the Netherlands. You can choose between starchy, waxy, sweet potatoes and sometimes red (usually roseval; which is IMO rather overrated). Only in some stores you're lucky enough to find a few fancier potatoes, but you really have to go out of your way to look for it.
When we're talking about Hanos/Sligro that's restaurant wholesalers; not a normal supermarket. I had to officially sign in a 'cooking club' in the chamber of commerce just to be able to apply for a card to shop there.
It's really a shame, because as a kid I always thought potatoes were just... bland and boring. Turns out they don't have to be when the potatoes don't suck.
