how do I add potatoes?

chelmold

I find the food search on this site so frustrating sometimes... I am trying to add 2.5 pounds of potatoes to a recipe and no matter what I search it comes up like "Arby's - french fried potatoes," "Cracker Barrel - cheese soaked potatoes" or like "Potatoes, mashed, with kale and onions." Or even worse it's like "Potato, skin, flesh" but you can only add by 100g increments. I have no idea how many grams of potatoes I used

I just messed around with it for WAY too long. I'm clearly doing it wrong and I need some help! Can someone please tell me what exact search terms to use to find plain white potatoes (preferably with the skin off since I peeled them, but I'll pretend I ate the skin if I have to) where I can add them to a recipe in pounds or at least in ounces??

Thanks!!!

I hate when I can't find what I am looking for......maybe try "potatoes - usda" and see if that helps.

Good luck

Its very simple search for "produce potatoes" or "produce carrots" etc you will find lots

Search for white potatoes and you'll get various options and use an online convertor to convert pounds to grams.

1 pound = 453.59237 grams
You can enter fractions of a serving size, so it doesn't have to be in even 100g increments. If, for instance, you had 1 lbs of potatoes, enter as 4.5 servings of potato at 100g per serving.

what about "russet potato" or "idaho potato"?

ID the actual type of potato...i.e. USDA Red Potato...usually listed in grams so you'll have to do a little math
