To prepare ideal dishes, it is important for us to know the variety of potatoes, but the manufacturer rarely spoils customers with this information.
Some cooks grow potatoes themselves, so they know very well what dishes each variety is suitable for.
For example, to prepare puree, it is essential for us to use a root vegetable with a high starch content. Such a vegetable will boil well, thanks to which the dish will turn out tasty and airy.
How to Identify High Starch Potatoes
There is a very simple method that will allow us to answer this question correctly. To do this, you will need to take one root vegetable and cut it into two parts.
After this, you need to fasten the halves together again and evaluate the result.
If the potatoes stick together quite well, then you can safely use them for making mashed potatoes. If the halves of the root vegetable do not want to stick together, then you should choose another dish for their preparation.
