Question

why do potatoes need more time to be cooked when at high altitudes​

Answer 1

Answer:

NOT ONLY POTATOES MOST OF THE FOODS COOKING TIME WILL BE MORE IN HIGHER ALTITUDES BECAUSE THE OXYGEN LEVEL IS LOW (IT IS NEED FOR COMBUSTION) IT IS A HEAVY GAS SO IT IS PRESENT IN LOWER ATMOSPHERE. AS WE GO HIGHER THE OXYGEN LEVEL DECREASES.

Answer 2

ANSWER:-

If you are cooking a potato by boiling it in water, the water will boil faster at a higher altitude because the boiling point of water is lower. However, it will take the potato longer to cook since it will be surrounded by water that's boiling at a lower temperature.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU....
