Abstract:
Potato is probably the most popular food item in the Indian diet. It is grown all over the
country with Uttar Pradesh growing the maximum quantity. Potato is a very rich source of
starch. It also contains phosphorus, calcium, iron and some vitamins. Apart from use of fresh
potatoes for the purpose of making vegetables and gravy, they are dehydrated in the forms of
slices, sticks, cubes or powder to impart better shelf life. Yet another popular use is to make
wafers or chips.
