Selection tips
When selecting the bonito potato, there are several tips that can help you choose the best ones for your culinary needs:
- General aspect: Look for potatoes that have a smooth, firm skin. Avoid those that show obvious signs of damage, such as deep cuts, bumps or bruises.
- Skin color: The pretty potato usually has a skin color that varies between yellow and light brown. Choose those that are uniform in color and without green spots, as the latter can indicate that the potato has been exposed to too much light and could taste bitter.
- skin texture: The skin should be thin and taut. Avoid potatoes with wrinkled skin, as this can be a sign of dehydration or aging.
- Firmness: When lightly pressed, the potatoes should feel firm. If they are soft or give way easily to pressure, they may be stale or in poor condition.
- Size and Shape: Although size and shape may vary, look for potatoes of uniform size to ensure even cooking. Pretty potatoes are usually small and elongated.
- Odor: A fresh potato should not have strong or unpleasant odors. An earthy smell is normal, but if it smells moldy or rotten, it's best to avoid it.
Conservation
Here are some tips for preserving potatoes at home:
- Wash the potatoes with cold water. This will help remove dirt and debris.
- Dry the potatoes with a kitchen towel. Moisture can cause potatoes to rot.
- Store potatoes in a cool, dark place. The ideal temperature for storing potatoes is 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.
- Do not store potatoes in the refrigerator. Cold can cause potatoes to become sweet and taste unpleasant.
- Don't store potatoes near fruits or vegetables that produce ethylene, such as apples or bananas. Ethylene can speed up the ripening process of potatoes.
