    Potatoes FAQs

    Can you eat potatoes as a vegan?

    Absolutely! Potatoes are a fantastic ingredient to include in your plant-based meals. And they are a healthy staple of a vegan Mediterranean diet.

    How many types of potatoes are there?

    According to Potatoes USA, there are over 200 types of potatoes available in the United States. These can be classified into 7 categories: russet, red, white, yellow, blue/purple, fingerling, and petite.

    What type of potato is a new potato?

    A new potato, also called a baby potato, is a potato that is harvested before reaching full size. They tend to have thinner skin with a waxy texture and a sweeter flavor.

    What is the best way to store potatoes?

    Store potatoes in a cool, dry area of your kitchen, like a counter or pantry. Do not refrigerate uncooked potatoes. Keep them in a basket, box, or paper bag rather than a plastic bag. And do not store them next to onions, bananas, or apples because they will spoil faster.

    Soups with potatoes

    These soups featuring potatoes as a main ingredient are comforting and satisfying.
