Potatoes

i can only remember 2 of the breeds which were i belive Shepody and Pentland dell which if the information in "Mc News" was to be belived were specially bred to be long and wide so as to increase the amount of fries that could be obtained from a single potato

Yams and sweet potatoes are biologically unrelated plants. In the U.S. the names are used interchangeably. The majority are different varieties of sweet potato. The main distinguishing factor is that a sweet potato tends to have ends which taper to a point and yams tend to have rough scaly skin. In addition, wild yams have been recorded to weigh up to 130 lbs. There are approximately 200 different varieties of yams with flesh colors varying from white to ivory to yellow to purple while their thick skin comes in white, pink or brownish-black. Their shape is long and cylindrical (oftentimes having offshoots referred to as "toes") while their exterior texture is rough and scaly. There is great confusion between yams and sweet potatoes in the United States; most of the vegetables labeled "yams" in the markets are really orange-colored sweet potatoes. The sweet potato has yellow or orange flesh, and its thin skin may either be white, yellow, orange, red or purple. Sometimes this root vegetable will be shaped like a potato, being short and blocky with rounded ends, while other times it will be longer with tapered ends. There is often much confusion between sweet potatoes and yams; the moist-fleshed, orange-colored root vegetable that is often called a "yam" is actually a sweet potato. Nutritionally speaking:

Sweet potatoes are relatively low in calories and have no fat. They are rich in beta-carotene; having five times the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A in one sweet potato, as well as loaded with potassium. These nutrients help to protect against heart attack and stroke. The potassium helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body cells, as well as help maintain normal heart function and blood pressure. Yams are similar nutritionally but are not a great source of Vitamin A. They are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Yams are also known to help protect against cardiovascular disease, benefit those with hypertension, and believed to be an anti-cancer food.

Three medium potatoes equal about 1 pound. One pound of potatoes will yield 3 cups peeled and sliced; 2 1/4 cups peeled and diced; 2 cups mashed; or 2 cups of french fries. (Answer found on North Carolina Potato Association website)

This depends on the concentration of the salt solution.

If the water potential of the salt solution is greater (less concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move into the potato cells, increasing the size of the potato strip.

If the water potential of the salt solution is lower (more concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move out of the potato cells in the salt solution, decreasing the size of the potato strip.

Just before 1950, George Lerner designed and produced a first generation set of plastic face pieces. The push pin shaped noses, ears, eyes and mouth parts could be pushed into fruits or vegetables to transform the food into an endless amout of possibilities, thus, making the buiding blocks of the mr. potato head we know today.

Aluminum foil is an incredibly versatile cooking product. It can take the heat of almost any kind of cooking (stove, oven, grill, firepit), it can be formed into any shape needed, it can handle a bit of steam pressure when folded properly, it's lightweight, it's affordable, and it can be recycled.
It is not actually Aluminium but an alloy of Aluminium[90%] and other metals[10%] that stop Aluminium from "rusting/oxidising" and exploding on contact with water and heat. Aluminium is lightweight, very malleable[so you can bend it], cheap compared with other metals, recyclable and easily drawn into thin sheets.

yes, a potato is a vegtable, it is actually healthy for you unless you have high blood sugar.

Boil potatoes and cut them into cube squares about 3 cups worth, once you have them cut, add 1 cup of mayonaise and 3 tablespoons mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then you can mess around with additional ingrediants, bacon, onion, chive, roasted red pepper, olives, and whatever else you may want.

Well it all depends on what you mean by "potato" and what you mean by "grow". If you mean how long does it take for a new plant to sprout from an eye on a planted bit of potato, this can occur in as little as a week given warm soil temperatures, and the right amount of soil cover.

But if you mean how long it takes to get a crop of potatoes, it depends on how big you want them! Potatoes grow as tubers on the roots of the potato plant, and a healthy plant will continue to set potatoes throughout the growing season. If you have a short growing season, say from May 1 to July 30, like gardeners in the mountains do, you can grow potatoes but the tubers will be small. I often start digging potatoes around July 4th, so I can indulge in the traditional New England Holiday dish of Salmon, fresh garden peas and "new potatoes". New potatoes are tender, creamy, and well worth the effort. So even if you have a short growing season, you can grow New Potatoes, and when you do, you are growing the best!

However if you have a longer season, just keep mounding up mulch or light soil onto the potato plants so that only 8 to 10 inches of stems and leaves stick out. The plants will continue to set potatoes all up the buried stems. You can do this out in the garden, mounding up soil and mulch along the rows of plants, but I have planted potatoes in recycled food-safe 55 gallon barrels, and covered the green stems with straw and mulch as they grew up and up. At the end of the season, in October or even November, i was able to harvest 40 to 50 pounds of potatoes from a single mulch filled barrel with 2 plants in it.

Yes, the green stuff is natural--just don't eat the green part, the rest is fine.

(alternate answer) Potato skin often has a greenish tinge because it is the root of a plant which grows green leaves for photosynthesis. Don't eat green mold, but in most cases, the green in the potato skin is just chlorophyll, and is perfectly safe to eat.

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 40 degrees and Below 140 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.

Potatoes are grown under the ground, yes. The "eyes" of the original potatoe are put into the soil just like you would with a seed and then they are watered as a normal plant. They grow into a leafy plant ABOVE the ground which then grows the potatoes.

A potato's price differs depending on several aspects. First it depends on whether or not there are potatoes grown near where you live. Also, the price may be different in markets and grocery stores because they tend to price things differently (market food is usually brought in fresh, while food in a grocery story may not). To find out the true answer to this question, it would be best to visit your local market or grocery store.

a big potatoe would take from 1hr 30 mins to 2hrs a small potatoe about 1hr to 1 hr 30 mins!!

About 500 years ago when someone overcooked the potatoe.

Warm growing season, good loamy soil with neutral pH, and plenty of sun.

The flowers of the potato plant are poisonous so this is a deterrent to animals which might want to eat it.

While various forms of dehydrated vegetables and other foods go back beyond our knowledge of history, the inventor of modern instant mashed potatoes is documented as Canadian scientist Edward Asselbergs, who created the dehydrated potato flakes for the Ottawa Department of Agriculture in 1962.

I'm not absolutely certain of the first company to market Dr Asselbergs' invention, but in the nineteen-sixties Cadbury put Smash instant mashed potato on the market in the United Kingdom, so it seems likely they were the first to commercially produce the product. Smash is still on the market; the brand is now owned by Premier Foods.

Potatoes skins are very good in gardens. They break down and provide potassium for your plants. Plants need potassium for root development, better blooms and to make them more drought tolerant.

It would be safe to eat, but you probably wouldn't enjoy it. The lettuce would become mushy as it thaws.

most potato chips don't have sugar in them at all but I'm 100% knowing there are different flavors for potato chip so hey maby there might be a brand or flavor the have sugar in them!

One small baked potato, 2 inches diameter(across the center), contains about 15 grams of carbohydrate and 2 grams of protein.

It looks like a bloodhound to me. internet search for that breed and scent hound if you are generally interested in these types of hunting/working dogs.
