When to Use Potatoes

- Potatos is a common misspelling.
Potatoes, of course, are a type of vegetable that come from the potato plant. The edible part of the plant is an underground tuber.
Potatoes are a plentiful crop that originated in South America. They are very starchy, and are a good source of vitamins B6 and C. They are an important part of many traditional dishes.
