Do they use potatoes to make vodka?

Yes, potatoes can be used to make vodka. Vodka can be made from various sources of sugar, including potatoes, wheat, rye, corn, and even grapes. When making vodka from potatoes, the potatoes must be cooked and mashed to release their starch. The resulting liquid is then fermented with yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. This fermented mixture undergoes distillation, a process that separates the alcohol from the remaining water and impurities. The final result is vodka with a neutral taste and high alcohol content.
