Question

select all of the following statements which are true when purchasing potatoes.

choose potatoes where the eyes are sunken into the potato

look for potatoes with firm skin

avoid potatoes which are bruised

choose potatoes which are the least bumpy

choose a potato with the thickest skin

Explanation:

• "Choose potatoes where the eyes are sunken into the potato": Sunken eyes can indicate better quality as protruding eyes may be sprouting or less fresh.
• "Look for potatoes with firm skin": Firm skin shows the potato is fresh and not starting to decay.
• "Avoid potatoes which are bruised": Bruised potatoes can lead to faster spoilage and lower quality.
• "Choose potatoes which are the least bumpy": Less bumpy potatoes are often easier to prepare and have a more consistent texture.
• "Choose a potato with the thickest skin": Thicker skin doesn't necessarily mean better quality; in fact, thin - skinned potatoes can be more desirable for some uses (like boiling), and thick - skinned ones may be more suitable for baking but it's not a universal rule for "good" potatoes when purchasing generally. So this statement is not true.

Answer:

• Choose potatoes where the eyes are sunken into the potato
• Look for potatoes with firm skin
• Avoid potatoes which are bruised
• Choose potatoes which are the least bumpy
