What goes with Potato?
Potato behavior is governed by variety, starch content and cut geometry. Floury types excel at roasting, frying and mashing; waxy potatoes hold together in salads and layered dishes. Surface starch helps form crusts but can also glue slices or cloud frying oil. Cooling cooked potatoes firms their structure, while excessive mechanical work ruptures cells and turns purée elastic.
