Potatoes

The carbs in a patato are called simple carbs, and are high in starch. The carbs in brown rice are called complex carbs, and are lower in starches, and higher in fiber.

What type of potato? If they are not seed potatoes you will get none. Different varieties produce varying amounts but you will get several on each plant.

polythene bag has a higher melting point

No No No

Potatoes were domesticated in Ireland thousands of years ago by Keltic tribes

Yes.

Yesh! (:

They are prepared when they are shipped and are microwaved at the store. However all of the comfort foods are made with a lot of liquid margarine. Just use lots of melted butter or margarine.

You can not. Roast means they are cooked in the oven and if they are cooked in a deep fat fryer they are fried.

The number of potatoes that make up 70 grams can vary significantly depending on the size and type of potato. On average, a medium-sized potato weighs around 150-200 grams, so you would typically need about half of a medium potato to reach 70 grams. Smaller potatoes may weigh around 100 grams each, meaning you would need about two smaller potatoes. For precise measurements, it's best to weigh the potatoes directly.

Liver contains more catalase than potatoes because it plays a crucial role in detoxifying harmful substances, particularly hydrogen peroxide, which is a byproduct of various metabolic processes. The high metabolic activity in the liver requires efficient breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to prevent cellular damage, necessitating higher levels of catalase. In contrast, potatoes, being plant tissues, have lower metabolic rates and generally produce less hydrogen peroxide, resulting in lower catalase levels.

Potatoes are carbohydrates. Proteins come from meat, fish, and some vegetables.

The SmartPoints value of a jacket potato can vary based on its size and preparation method. Generally, a plain medium-sized jacket potato (about 5-6 ounces) is around 5-6 SmartPoints. However, if you add toppings like butter or cheese, the SmartPoints will increase. Always check specific weight and toppings for accurate SmartPoints calculation.

To feed 300 people mashed potatoes, you'll typically want to plan for about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup per person. This means you would need approximately 150 to 225 cups of mashed potatoes in total. Since there are about 16 cups in a gallon, this translates to about 9 to 14 gallons of mashed potatoes. Adjust according to your guests' preferences and other menu items.

Yes, they are safe, just cut that part off if you don't like it.

Vincent van Gogh painted "The Potato Eaters" in 1885, when he was about 32 years old. This work reflects his early style and interest in depicting the lives of peasants. The painting emphasizes the harsh realities of rural life, showcasing Van Gogh's empathy for the working class.

In 2011, 18,865,000 CWT of potatoes were produced in North Dakota.
North Dakota produced 25.2 million hundredweight of potatoes in 2012.
North Dakota produced 22.6 million hundredweight of potatoes in 2013.

Yes, that should be plenty for a normal serving. if you are calculating for a group event, add 5 - 10% for overage and/or spillage.

The eye, the skin

The Irish potato famine can be described as a time in the nineteenth century when there was a shortage of potato crops.

The Irish potato famine was a horrifying agricultural disaster, not just a shortage of potatoes!

For thousands of years the Irish (and most other Celtic tribes) had been great fishermen and the staple of their diet was fish from the Atlantic. But with the discovery of the New World the potato was introduced to Ireland. Farming potatoes was much easier and cheaper than maintaining large fishing ships, the nets, etc., so gradually over the generations fishing was virtually abandoned by the Irish people and the staple of their diet became the potato.

By selecting the best potatoes to grow over the years they narrowed the genetic diversity of their crop (a potato variety called the Irish Lumper) until when the potato blight (a fungus like organism) attacked in 1840s crops were nearly entirely wiped out, becoming a foul smelling mush long before harvest. It was not possible for them to suddenly return to fishing.

Unfortunately at the time while Ireland was growing sufficient other crops to feed everyone, the English (who ruled the country) demanded that it all continue to be exported to them as had been done in the past.

Note: the failure of potato crops that lead to the Irish potato famine was not limited to Ireland. It originated in Mexico the spread through the US before jumping the Atlantic aboard clipper ships, after arriving in Ireland it spread through England and all of Europe. But in those other places there was wider variety of potatoes thus offering more resistance to the blight than the Irish Lumper did, also the laws and culture of the other locations permitted switching to alternate foods and prevented a famine elsewhere but in Ireland no such options were available resulting in massive famine.

The potato crop failure in August 1845 was primarily caused by a fungal disease known as late blight, or Phytophthora infestans. This pathogen thrived in the damp, cool conditions of that summer, leading to widespread rotting of potato plants. The reliance on potatoes as a staple food in Ireland meant that the failure resulted in severe food shortages and ultimately contributed to the Great Famine, which had devastating social and economic consequences.

Skewers can be used to make turning and moving the potatoes around easier.
