Potatoes are such an inexpensive and versatile ingredient, we just couldn't resist making them a Featured Ingredient.
Potatoes are easily available year round.
Look for spuds that are smooth and unbruised. Avoid any with a green tint, as this is somewhat toxic. Don't panic however, you can easily cut away any areas that have a green tint and be fine. Store your potatoes in a cool, dry area. Don't refrigerate them as the cold will turn a percentage of the potato's starch to sugar.
