Previous studies have shown that of various different potato varieties, Kennebec was the most
suitable for producing fresh mashed potatoes of consistent quality (Alvarez et al., 2004; Canet et
al., 2005a), and that freezing and thawing processes reduced most of the quality parameters
measured in the product. However, LTB of potatoes (cv. Kennebec) prior to freezing and cooking
significantly increased firmness retention
