Potato sprouts contain compounds (specifically glycoalkaloids like solanine and chaconine), which stick in the potatoes' skin and become toxic in the body when consumed in large quantities, leading to an upset stomach or indigestion. However, it's worth noting that potatoes already contain glycoalkaloids - the compound is just more concentrated in the sprouts.

Kettle-cooked potato chips are usually sliced thicker and cooked in smaller batches for longer amounts of time. They get cooked in kettles that are filled with oil, and the temperature of the fat gets adjusted throughout the cooking process.

Germans love their potatoes. They eat on average 63kg a person every year, according to official statistics. But the exceptional glut of potatoes produced by farmers during the last harvest has overwhelmed even the hardiest of fans. Named the Kartoffel-Flut (potato flood), after the highest yield in 25 years, the bumper crop has inspired one farmer to organise a potato dump on Berlin, with appeals going out around the German capital for people to come to various hotspots and pick them up for free.

There's something beautifully Canadian about this: a legendary fries company teaming up with our Olympic athletes to create a nationwide cheer squad fueled by golden potatoes. McCain Foods just announced a four-year partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee, becoming the Official French Fry Partner of Team Canada through the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Summer Games.

The skis bring Ore-Ida's unmistakable look straight to the slopes, complete with bold crinkle cut ridges, a golden fry themed topsheet, and a ketchup red background that pops against the snow. They are playful, loud, and unapologetically fun, but this is not just novelty gear. Fischer's involvement means these are legitimate, slope-ready skis designed to perform and not just hang on a wall.

There is perhaps no food more humble than a baked potato. But driven by creators like the U.K.'s SpudBros - 4.9 million followers and counting - POV footage of scored, fluffed, and amply topped spuds are all over TikTok. Baked potatoes are just as convenient as Sweetgreen or Chipotle, and should be as prevalent, but only recently has New York caught up to the glories of the quick-potato lunch.

Onions may not be the prettiest vegetable to grow, but they're certainly one of the most useful. Figuring which items you eat most often is the first thing to consider before planting a vegetable garden, and as a fundamental part of soups, sauces, and salads, who couldn't use more of these easy-to-grow alliums? The only tricky part is that location really matters, as different varieties of onions require different day lengths in order to thrive.

Parsnips' signature sweet, nutty flavor comes from their cold-weather cultivation. That subterranean freeze is what converts the roots' starches into sugars as the veggie grows underground. This is also why spring-harvested parsnips tend to be sweetest, although parsnips can be harvested during the fall and winter months, too. Fall- and winter-harvested parsnips feature a firmer texture and earthier, subtly bitter tasting profile.

Lines often form outside the doors of those looking for their choice of French fries, sauces, and toppings - and some of these orders aren't simply topped, they are towers.

Instead of spending the time and effort to prepare your own crispy-edged smashed potatoes, firing up this easy-to-prepare side leaves you more time to work on entrees, desserts, and more. The minimal list of ingredients includes potatoes, olive oil, sea salt, and "Liquid Gold," a garlic Parmesan seasoning that contains real butter, buttermilk, garlic, bell red peppers, Parmesan cheese, and a mix of savory spices.

You really don't need much to make a delicious baked potato - some oil, a little salt, and an oven rack - and the opportunity to make it into a meal is endless. But at the crux of it all, of course, is the potato itself. Even a delicious baking potato can have flaws, and if you notice that yours has some brown spots, there's usually no need to worry.

If you love your salty snacks (and who doesn't?), we have a game-changing idea. Potato chips are irresistibly delicious, but we all know the unfortunate truth that they're a far cry from healthy, with their sodium and unhealthy fats. But you don't have to give up the experience of enjoying a crunchy, savory snack; in fact, you can even upgrade that experience with chickpeas.

Also known as potato chops, these treats trace their roots to the kitchens of Christian communities across India, Pakistan and Iraq, where they became a celebratory staple at weddings, holidays and family feasts. The building blocks are spiced minced meat, a dough made of mashed potatoes and then the patties are shaped. The beef on the inside, the potato on the outside, and you dip each one in egg wash and breadcrumb and then shallow fry it.
