Description

Soil Potato refers to a variety of potato that is typically harvested directly from the soil and may have a more rustic appearance. The term often refers to potatoes that have been freshly dug up from the ground, sometimes with their skins left unwashed, giving them a more natural, earthy look. These potatoes are known for their fresh, firm texture and are often considered ideal for various cooking methods. Here’s a breakdown of two types or descriptions of Soil Potato:

Fresh Soil Potato (Raw – KG)

• Description: Fresh Soil Potato is newly harvested and typically has a rough, earthy texture with skin that is not yet washed clean. The potatoes may have dirt still clinging to their skin, adding to their rustic appeal. The flesh inside is firm and pale, with a slightly starchy texture. These potatoes tend to have a more earthy, natural flavor compared to stored potatoes.

• Uses: Fresh Soil Potato is often used for boiling, roasting, or mashing. The earthy flavor and firm texture make them perfect for roasted potatoes, where they can be seasoned with herbs and spices. Fresh potatoes can also be cut into cubes and fried to make fries, or used in salads, curries, and soups. These potatoes are often preferred for traditional or rustic recipes.
