Selection of potatoes:

First of all, it depends on the shape of potatoes. Potatoes with uniform size, intact and no bug eyes are of better quality. It is recommended to choose medium-sized or slightly larger potatoes with uniform shape, hard texture and smooth skin.

Secondly, look at the surface color of potatoes. Fresh potato skin should be tender green, if the surface appears black, it may have been preserved for too long. Potatoes with buds or eyes also indicate that they have been preserved for too long and are not very fresh.

Third, smell the potatoes. Fresh potatoes have a clear fragrance. If they are sour, bitter and astringent, it means that they are not fresh or potatoes have begun to sprout.

Finally, see if the potato skin is fresh. Fresh potatoes have smooth skin, no spots and insect eyes, and the color is light yellow. If the potato bud is deep, it means that the potato is not fresh.

However, because potatoes are easy to be damaged during transportation, sometimes even new potatoes will have deep buds and shallow pits, so we can try our best to choose potatoes without buds, and then dig out the buds of potatoes with buds after going home and choose fresh parts.
