Potatoes

People do this simple to make the salt or any other ingredients such as pepper and others spread around on the chips. They want it to spread so that it doesn't stay in one place. sometimes people say it is good luck.

Most frequent reason for a gun exploding is a blocked barrel. A bullet is pushed by high pressure gas (40,000 to 60,000 PSI is common), and that gas needs to escape. A blockage stops the bullet, making it an effective cork. Pressure escapes wherever there is less resistance.

Other causes include excessive powder charges, incorrect powder type, metal failure due to internal defects or corrosion, and using wrong ammunition.

As far as I know, you hill potatoes so that the tuber roots have more room to expand, and the larger the hill, the looser the soil is for the potatoes to expand. it also keeps them from getting too much sun, at which point they turn green and are inedible. Sugars produced by photosynthesis are converted to and stored as starch in the roots. Basically, you're creating a better and eaiser environment for them to stretch their arms and legs. The more you hill them, the more they will be able to expand and the more yield you will get. Usually you hill two or three times in a season.

I just knock off the sprouts on a white or sweet potato and haven't had any problems. If it is soft in one or so places, cut that part out. If it is growing a vine, stick 4 toothpicks around the middle and put it in a glass of water and you will have a beautiful vine.

When potatos are exposed to light, they turn green and increase glycoalkaloid production. This is a natural defense to help prevent the uncovered tuber from being eaten. The green colour is from chlorophyll, and is itself harmless. However, it is an indication that increased level of poisonous solanine and chaconine may be present.

Yes, if refrigerated shortly (few hours) after cooking - it is generally considered quite safe to refrigerate potato dishes for several day at least, assuming there is not some sort of highly-perishable sauce involved.

vitamin c?

That will vary depending on the company and variety.

Primarily in bulk membership stores such as Sams Club or Costco. It's delicious.

Potatoes, or the portion of the potato plant we eat, are actually roots. As such, they aren't exposed to sunlight, and since chloroplasts require sunlight to convert energy, it makes sense that the potato cell doesn't have any. The green shoots that go above ground for the potato plant do have chloroplast.

About 5 pounds of mashed poatoes are needed for twenty people. ~in my opinion, five pounds of potatoes could feed ME!!!!!!!!........ but i LOve potatoes

62lbs of potatoes should be enough, this is based on the following recipe which serves 4 people. 1 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered length-wise

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 Tbsp heavy cream

2 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp milk

Salt and Pepper You will also need a very big pan!!

Plan on 1 1/2 potatoes per a person. This depends on how close you want to cut it. If it is important that you don't run out go to 2 potatoes a person. If some of the people are younger or older and can't eat as much this should be taken into account and provide about a half a potato. This estimation is based on a regular sized russet or bakers potato.

The number of potatoes needed for 3 and 1/2 pounds depends on the size of the potatoes. It would take 10 or 11 medium sized potatoes to make 3 and 1/2 pounds of sliced potatoes. Large potatoes would take 4 or 5 for 3 and 1/2 pounds, while you would probably need 15 or more small potatoes for 3 and 1/2 pounds of sliced potatoes.

Shallots are often thought to be another variety of onion, but they are actually a species of their own. They grow in clusters, where separate bulbs are attached at the base and by loose skins. The shallot has a tapered shape and a fine-textured, coppery skin, which differentiates it from onions. Shallots were first introduced to Europeans during the 12th Century. Crusaders brought them home as "valuable treasure" from the ancient Palestinian city of Ascalon.

Shallots have a mild taste that combines the flavor of a sweet onion with a touch of garlic.

The shallot can be distinguished from the others by its distinctive bulbs which are made up of cloves like garlic, but unlike garlic, the individual bulbs are not encircled together by a common membrane.

A serving is about 4 ounces so 2 pounds would feed 8 people.

Michigan is the largest producer in the United States of potatoes used for potato chips.

Michigan producers grew nearly 100 million dollars worth of potatoes. They're not the BIGGEST potato producer in the United States-they're tenth. Yet Michigan grows a special kind of potatoes-Snowden, Pike, Atlantic and Frito-Lay varieties most commonly used for chips.

Three quarters of Michigan's potato crop is used for potato chips. And potato chips are America's most popular snack food.

These crops were important to Europe in that they diversified the food supply for many impoverished Europeans. Although corn is a very American crop, its uses in Europe were widespread, many till today. An example of an undiversified crop was the French Revolution where peasants relied on the wheat and flour to make bread. Once these not so resilient crops were destroyed by harsh cold, the peasants began to starve and could not afford to buy into the dwindling food supply. Potatos grow underneath the ground and cannot be burned or easily destroyed by climate. However, the Irish used the crop so extensively that it replaced wheat as main diet. The Great Potato famine in Ireland was caused by a mildew that caused the potato to mold and crumble. Millions starved and were forced to flee the land of hunger.

That may be true. The butter or cheese that you add will make it a different answer though.

Potatoes are exelent for making food products such as waffle, chips, fries and much more. You can be creative with them though like if you cut a potato in half and make a star shape out of it you can dip it in paint to make fun pictures. Perfect for young children. Experiment with other shapes.

GREEN :)

Potatoes can be yellow to brown in colour. They can be pinkish to purple depending on the type of potato. If you leave them in the sun for a while, or grow them too close to the surface it can turn green under its skin - do not eat the green parts because it is poisonous, it also has a bitter taste.

Typically a serving is 3 or 4 ounces so the answer for 1 pound of mashed potatoes or 16 ounces would be 4 to 5 servings.

I wouldn't recommend it if there is lettuce in it. The leaves will wilt when thawed. I don't make mine with lettuce, and I can freeze it. I've done it before and it's fine.

Yes, cooked potatoes are safe for dogs to consume, as long as they have not been seasoned with salt, butter, garlic, or onions, as those are all detrimental to a dog's body. Raw potatoes are not safe for dogs to consume, so be sure to keep them away from any potato plants in a garden, or those bought at a grocery store.
