Potato

Neutral and comforting, mild earthy flavor that carries other ingredients.

A fundamental tuber in Mediterranean cuisine, rich in starch and neutral in flavor. It offers a variable texture depending on cooking: creamy at the core when boiled, golden and crispy when oven-roasted. A basic element of stews, fish accompaniments, and family dishes, it absorbs the flavors of surrounding herbs and oils.
