Where does "some" comes from?
Other exercises indicate that "some potatoes" would be Genitive картошки. and that the correct translation here is "the potatoes". In particular, there is:
Купи картошки и свари её.
where genitive is used to say "Buy some potatoes"
A moderator really needs to address this issue.

I don't understand why it would be wrong. картошку is Accusative, so it's a direct object of "boil", and as such would be (based on translations in many other exercises) be "the potatoes"
