I thought vodka was made with potatoes.
Anything containing sugar can be turned into alcohol. Some easier than others.
Potatoes are a grain? Actually where do potatoes come from? I know they can come from other potatoes, but of course there must be a grain.
These are the hard questions
Potatoes are a starch.
I don’t want to go on a wikipedia hunt right now, for potato starch, but if you could educate me further, I would appreciate it
Not much to it, The starch is essentially just a type of complex carbohydrate, and potatoes are known to carry them in abundance. So while a potato is still technically a vegetable, it's often referred to as a starch or starchy vegetable because of how much starch it contains.
It can be made with either! I think most vodka you get (at least in the US) is made with grain, but there are distillers who specifically make potato vodka, too.
