The main quality characteristics of fresh-cut potatoes that include a bright appearance, firm texture, and absence of darkening and dehydration can be maintained at low temperature (0°C) and high relative humidity (98%–100%). The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Potato cultivars appear in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Potatoes have compound leaves that are spirally arranged. Each leaf is 20–30 cm long (about 8–12 inches) and consists of a terminal leaflet and two to four pairs of leaflets.
