    (continued from previous page)
    Potatoes are principally used for food. They can be boiled, fried, hashed or baked.
    People sometimes make cakes for their evening tea.
    Potatoes are also used to make starch. The potatoes are grated and put through a fine sieve, and then boiling water poured on them.
