About Potato, flesh and skin, raw
The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a starchy tuber that grows underground and ranks among the world's most important food crops, after rice, wheat, and corn. Native to the Andes of South America, it now comes in thousands of varieties, from waxy red, fingerling, and new potatoes that hold their shape to floury russets that bake and mash beautifully, plus golden Yukons and colorful purple types. Potatoes are a filling, budget-friendly source of carbohydrates, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, with much of their fiber sitting just under the skin, so leaving them unpeeled adds nutrition.
They are endlessly adaptable, whether boiled, steamed, baked, roasted, mashed, or fried into French fries, hash browns, and chips, and they anchor everything from potato salad to gratins and soups. Store potatoes somewhere cool, dark, dry, and airy, away from onions, where they keep for weeks, and cut away any green patches or sprouts before cooking.
