In its raw form, the humble potato doesn’t look like much. But honestly, when it comes to this tuber vegetable, the limit truly does not exist. It can be anything and everything, and it works in pretty much any dish, with any flavor profile. Its potential truly knows no bounds. And that means that it is, of course, one of the most popular vegetables in the world. In the US alone, more than 95 percent of Americans eat potatoes around twice a week, according to the Idaho Potato Commission.
