“…The soil and debris were removed from the tubers, which were then washed. They were hand-peeled starting at the stem-end (basal) side of all 10 potato tubers using stainless steel knives, and the peeled tubers were cut along the long axis with an automatic French fry cutter machine into 7 mm × 7 mm rectangular strips; the central four strips of each tuber were collected ( Waxman et al., 2018 ). The 40 central strips were then soaked, blanched, dried, and par-fried ( Supplementary Figure 2 ).…”

“…The panelists were asked to score the six parameters using a standard rating scale from 1 to 9 as previously described. For example, for Crispness, 1 means less crisp and 9 means severely undesirable crunchy; for exterior shell: 1 means weak, 9 means tough; for all six parameters, 5 indicates the most optimal quality ( Supplementary Table 6 ) ( Waxman et al., 2018 ; Liang et al., 2020 ).…”

“…In one study, the color, texture, taste and smell, general appearance, moisture, fat content, and dark ends as features were used to assess the quality of the French fries processed from 14 potato cultivars (Sawicka et al, 2021). In another study, the crispness, exterior shell, mealiness, moistness, textural variation, and internal appearance were used to assess the quality of the French fries of three processing potato cultivars, including 'Russet Burbank', 'Alpine Russet', and 'Clearwater Russet' (Waxman et al, 2018). And many studies vary in the selection of the critical values The high and stable yield genotypes.…”

“…The GGE biplot combines the genotype effect (G) with genotype by environmental interaction effect (GE) and is widely used to integrate analysis of the various stability parameters to select stable and high-yielding germplasm resources in multiple environments ( Yan et al., 2000 ; Ruswandi et al., 2022 ). Therefore, GGE biplot may overcome limitations of single indexes or tuber quality of French fries alone and indicate the overall advantages and disadvantages of potato genotypes ( Abong et al., 2009 ; Waxman et al., 2018 ; Sawicka et al., 2021 ). However, there is no definition of the importance and the weight of evaluation indicators including lower and upper limits.…”

A total of 33 potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars and breeding clones imported from the United States and two local cultivars (Yunshu 401 and Cooperation 88, CK) were planted and evaluated. To determine their suitability for processing into French fries at five locations (e1-e5) in Yunnan Province, China, we developed a comprehensive evaluation system using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Eleven evaluation indicators for French fry quality, yield, and agronomic characteristics with a relative importance (weight coefficients) of 0.483, 0.301 and 0.216, respectively, were used to analyze the 35 potato genotypes (designated g1-g35).The genotypes were ranked and the results revealed that (1) on the average, the 33 potato genotypes imported from the United States showed a lower performance compared to the local cultivars. Compared with the CK, they were classified as not vigorous (Mean 5.11 vs CK 7.75), matured earlier (Mean 5.79 vs CK 1.70), and had a low resistance to late blight (Mean 3735.59 vs CK 1418.55), requiring the use of fungicides to control the disease at the five trial locations. (2) The US cultivar ‘Defender’ (g3) ranked in the top six at all five test locations because it had higher yield (29.56 t h m-2), better fry quality (4.64), higher dry matter content (20.41%), better tuber length/width ratio (1.99), longer tubers (13.57cm), stronger plant vigor (7.17) and higher resistance to late blight (AUDPC: 3134.2). (3) By using GGEbiplot analysis, superior genotypes with high and stable yields were g3 and ‘Echo Russet’ (g33). ‘Yunshu 401’ (g34) and ‘Yukon Gem’ (g4) had high but not stable yields. The ideal test environments and hence experimental locations were Luquan (LQ, e2) and Lijiang (LJ, e4) which resulted in the best discrimination between genotypes among the five experimental locations in Yunnan. Overall, the developed evaluation system based on AHP and GGEbiplot analysis including 11 evaluation indicators for French fry quality, yield and agricultural traits can be a model for evaluation and promotion of new French fry cultivars, and evaluating and selecting the test location.
