Potatoes are turned into alcohol through a process called fermentation. First, the potatoes are mashed and cooked to convert their starches into sugars. Yeast is then added to the mixture, which ferments the sugars, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. The resulting liquid can then be distilled to increase the alcohol content, resulting in spirits like vodka.

Since some alcohol can be made from potatoes and have calories could you still consider it a food or d?

Potatoes are food. Alcohol is a drink. They both contain hydroxly functional groups of a molecular level. Many other food-products like sugar (glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, lactose, and sucrose), carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, lipids, fatty acids, glycerols, and phosophlipids all contain hydroxyls, which mean they can be turned eventually into an alcohol. Things like sugar and pasta and chocolate are not alcohols or drinks, though. They contain very different molecular formulas that make them what they are, and the same goes for potatoes.
