A potato is a kind of root vegetable that ranges in size and shape, including round, oval and elongated.
White-washed potatoes have white or cream-smooth skin with cream-coloured flesh.
Potatoes are versatile vegetables that can be enjoyed as a side with many meals. The whole potato can be eaten – skin included – and should always be washed and cooked. Barbecue, bake, boil, or blitz them into a soup.
Mashed potatoes are a classic family favourite, or slice potatoes into chips.
