For potatoes, fresh consumption corresponds to the category of table varieties, which are evaluated by taste and behavior during heat treatment. The culinary classification divides varieties into type A with firm flesh, type B with moderate disintegration, type C with high flouriness, and type D, which disintegrates completely.
The quality of table potatoes is determined by strict standards: tubers must be mature, clean, dry, and free from mechanical damage and signs of greening. Important characteristics include uniform shape with shallow eyes, starch content in the range of 18–20%, and the absence of flesh darkening during culinary processing.
