Potatoes. Potatoes. Potatoes Potaaaeeeeeeeeetoessss!! Potatoes. 

Potatoes.

 Potatoes can be used for lots and lots of stuff. They are used in french fries, your salads, potato chips, steamed potatoes, baked potatoes and some more. They taste very good and most people like them. Every single part of the potato(only) is edible. When I say every part of the potato, I mean just the potato, not the whole plant.

The English word "potato" comes from the Spanish word "patata". Patata, not padada. Potatoes taste so good and it's really almost hassle-free. You can enjoy potatoes anywhere and anytime without anybody looking at you in a weird way. Have your chips or fries anywhere. It might be SLIGHTLY strange to eat a whole baked potato in public. Just admit it; the whole potato can't fit in your mouth. DEAL WITH IT.

The People's Republic Of China(DPRK(Oops, I mean PRC)) are the world's largest producers of potatoes. Followed by Russia, India, US, Ukraine, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands and France. PRC has a hand in 70 million metric tons' worth of potatoes.(According to a survey in 2006.)

Here's the nutritional value of each 100g of potatoes:

*From Wikipedia

 As you can see from the above picture, there is quite a lot of energy in the potatoes. The sodium content is 6mg which is absolutely 0% in the potatoes. 14% iron is good. 33% Vitamin C and 19% Vitamin B6. And 0.1g of fat PER 100g OF POTATO. Ain't that great.

My Take on it: I really like potatoes. No matter what form they are in, I enjoy them. Fries, chips, baked, steamed, with curry, I still enjoy them. They taste good and are good for you. It doesn't create much hassle for you. Eating it with chilli sauce is good. Sometimes mayonnaise(With help from Spellcheck) is good with it too. 

Here's the moral of the story; potatoes taste good. But don't overdose on the chips and fries! o.O

POTAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEETTTTTTOOEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
