Air potatoes are rugged, bulbous
vegetables that grow on vines. They vary in size, some as small as an egg while others require both hands to hold. Air potatoes average in length between 12 to 15 centimeters but some may be smaller. They have an oblong to irregularly shaped body that resembles the form of a rock. This vegetable can weigh anywhere trom 50 to 300 grams. They have rough, light brown skin that's spotted with warts and speckled with paler brown dots across their body. Air potatoes have golden yellow flesh with a firm, starchy, and slightly sticky texture. The scent of this vegetable is reminiscent of bamboo shoots while the flavor is mild, earthy, and sometimes bitter. When cooked, Air potatoes lose some of their sticky texture.
