Potato Vodka

Potato vodka is a type of vodka that is made from potatoes, rather than from the more commonly used grain or corn. It is believed to have originated in Poland and is still produced there as well as in other countries such as Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.

The process of making potato vodka involves first washing, peeling, and grinding the potatoes to create a mash. Enzymes are then added to the mash to break down the starch into sugar, which is then fermented with yeast to produce alcohol. The alcohol is then distilled to remove impurities and create a clear, high-proof spirit.

Potato vodka is often praised for its smooth, clean taste and is a popular choice among those who prefer a gluten-free or grain-free diet. It can be enjoyed straight or in a variety of cocktails.
