The Chateau and Valdivia varieties are grown for waxy potatoes.

Potatoes are one of the most important staple foods. Potatoes are thickened parts of the underground shoots of the annual potato plant. These serve to store reserve nutrients. The tubers vary in size, round, oval or kidney-shaped. The color varies depending on the variety from whitish, light yellow, ocher yellow, light red to violet. The flesh is usually white or yellow.

Origin

The Andes countries of South America are the original home. They have been cultivated there for 2,000 years. The potato was introduced to Europe in the mid-16th century, as a garden and ornamental plant from 1621 also in Austria. It was not until the second half of the 18th century that Frederick the Great recognized the value of the potato as a food.

Preparation

It is best to use them quickly, because the skin is not yet too thick. The potatoes can be used with their skin on.

Storage recommendation

Potatoes are sensitive to cold and should therefore not be stored in the refrigerator. However, they must be stored in a cool place. To prevent them from turning green in the light and forming the toxic solanine, it is important to store them in complete darkness.
