What it is

Potatoes are starchy root vegetables grown underground. They are a staple food in many parts of the world. Fresh potatoes are typically washed, sometimes peeled, and then cut for use in various dishes or processed foods.

Health notes

Potatoes are a good source of potassium and vitamin C. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated potatoes and found them to have no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not link potato consumption at normal levels to adverse health outcomes.
