[Kateryna Kyshynska]

Dear all!

Картофель (kartoffel) is more official style, and it is used in news,  
reports etc.
Картошка (kartoshka) is everyday or household word. We say, for  
instance, "I'd prefer to eat kartoshka today, not noodles", "My  
parents are going to plant kartoshka soon".

Best regards,
Kate
