How is Potato used in Thai cooking?

Potato - man farang - came originally from South America and is now the most widely used root vegetable in the world. In Thai cooking it isn't a staple the way rice is, but it has a clear home in the curries that trace back to Indian and Muslim influence: massaman and yellow curry, where chunks of potato turn soft and soak up the warm, spiced coconut sauce. Its mild, starchy flesh is the perfect sponge for those gentler, aromatic curries.
