Twice Baked Potatoes
|
The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family. In the region of the Andes, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potato is the world's most widely grown tuber crop, and the fourth largest food crop in terms of fresh produce after rice, wheat, and corn. |
