Potatoes

In their potato-laced stews and curries, Southeast Asians use mostly the somewhat waxy varieties of potatoes, like our White Rose or Yukon Gold varieties. The Vietnamese don’t use potatoes very much. The Thais use them in dishes like Mussamun Curry. But in Malaysia and Singapore, potatoes are more widely used, especially in ethnic Indian and Malay cuisines. Thai: mun farang; Malay: kentang; Vietnamese: khoai tây
