What it is

Fresh potatoes are the edible tubers of the potato plant, *Solanum tuberosum*. They are a starchy root vegetable grown underground and harvested for consumption.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add fresh potatoes to products primarily for their bulk, texture, and flavor. They serve as a base or filling in many dishes and snacks. Common food types include chips, frozen appetizers, pasta fillings, and various deli items.

Health notes

Fresh potatoes are considered a whole food and are generally recognized as safe for consumption. They are a source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. As a whole food, they are not regulated by the FDA as an additive, nor have they been evaluated by JECFA or EFSA in that capacity. There are no notable controversies regarding the safety of fresh potatoes at typical intake levels.
