"You might think a potato is just a potato, but it's not! A potato contains different elements, but basically there are two parts, water and solid stuff. When it comes to making chips, the higher the dry content is, the flourier the chip will be and the lower it is, the more waxy. If your potato has too much water, the chip won't be crisp. If it is too dry, it will go hard. So the amount of dry matter content is all important. MBMG test different varieties of potato to make sure that you've got the right one for the right job. They are great at what they do. We were in their lab last November filming, and I was discussing glucose or sucrose conversion. The cameraman burst out laughing, and said 'it's just a potato!', but it's not just a potato. They are all different."
