About Potatoes
Potatoes are edible tubers with thin skins and starchy flesh, used as a staple ingredient in many cuisines. Their skin and flesh vary in colour, while the flesh may be waxy or floury and the flavour is generally mild and earthy.
They are sold whole, peeled, and in forms such as sliced, mashed, frozen, or dried products. Cooking changes their texture substantially: they may become fluffy, firm, creamy, or crisp. Variety, storage, peeling, and preparation all affect the character of the ingredient.
