Potato (mashed)

Potatoes are a starchy tuber vegetable available in many varieties, from waxy to floury, each suited to different cooking methods such as boiling, roasting, mashing, or frying. Waxy potatoes hold their shape better in salads and boiled dishes, while floury potatoes break down into a fluffier texture ideal for mashing and baking. Their starch content is the main factor determining how they behave when cooked.

Mashing breaks down structure and removes air pockets, making the mashed form denser than the whole or chopped form.
