Potatoes are generally brown in color, though some varieties are red or golden. They consist of a thin outer membrane, or skin, which is dry and coarse to the touch; and a white inner material, which is moist, crisp, and slightly translucent. They are very starchy, and arre a good source of various vitamins and minerals. They tend to be about the size of a fist, though some varieties are smaller and other specimens are significantly larger. They are fairly dense, which makes them both hearty for eating as well as difficult to carry around in large quantities.
