    kinds of potatoes we sow in my district. Kerpinks Champions and Aran Banners. The names of the potatoes that grows best in my district are Kerpinks and Champions.
    Potatoes were used once for making starch. They get a piece of tin and put holes in it and then they scrape the potatoes into a can and then they put a little water on them and then they squeeze the water from it and after a while the starch will be left behind.
