Рецепт Tuna Potato Croquetts
by Christine Lamb

Potatoes are often packaged in a plastic bag, it is usually

better to buy them individually from a bulk display. This allow you to better

inspect the potatoes for signs of decay or damage, but many times, the plastic

bags are not perforated and cause a buildup of moisture that can negatively

affect the potatoes.

Potatoes should be firm, well-shaped and relatively smooth,

and should be free of decay that often manifests as wet or dry rot. They should

not be sprouting or have green coloration since this indicates that they may

contain the toxic alkaloid solanine

that has been found to not only impart an terrible taste, but can also cause a

host of different health conditions such as circulatory and respiratory

depression, headaches and diarrhea.

Sometimes stores will offer already cleaned potatoes. These

should be avoided since when their protective coating is removed by washing, potatoes

are more vulnerable to bacteria. Already cleaned potatoes are also more

expensive, and since you still need to wash potatoes before cooking, you will

be paying an unnecessary additional cost.

New potatoes are harvested before they are fully mature;

they are much more susceptible to damage. So be on the lookout for any damage.

The ideal way to store potatoes is in a dark, dry place. Room

temperature, will cause the potatoes to sprout and dehydrate prematurely. Potatoes

should not be stored in the refrigerator, as their starch content will turn to

sugar giving them an undesirable taste. Do not store potatoes near onions, as

the gases that they each emit will cause the degradation of one another.

Cooked potatoes will keep fresh in the refrigerator for

several days. Potatoes do not freeze well.
