The potato should be brushed, cleaned and peeled thickly. It is also eaten cooked, as a vegetable, garnish or basis for dessert including scones, cakes or pies. It can be baked, pureed, cooked in its skin or in cream croquettes, in souffles, or gratins. It is often prepared like the potato and can be substituted for the pumpkin.

STORAGE

The potato should be kept washed and stored in a cool dark place with good ventilation.
