As part of photosynthesis, plants make sugar. This is transformed into the more solid starches (the polysaccharides amylose and amylopectin) using glycosidic bonds, similar to those that form glycogen in animal metabolism. These bonds are easily hydrolyzed to release the glucose. Potatoes are storing food in their tuber roots to last the winter.
Heating a potato breaks down some of the starch into pyrodextrins, which are darker in color. Cooking the starch makes it more easily digested.
