  @mbloch I do not know if they are cooked. Do you know? And, if so, what is the Scroll K rationale for accepting frozen potatoes?

  @mbloch Ahh, I see. Scroll K allows frozen potatoes without oil but most frozen potatoes have oil and also have been partially cooked.

A Google image search on frozen potatoes shows only cooked/roasted/prepared potatoes (although this might depend by region). If frozen potatoes are cooked, that would be enough reason to justify a hekhsher. R Elefant, the COO from OU Kosher, said that in some cases, the same steam pipe is used to heat vegetables in one industrial pot, and pork and beans in another, with the hot steam pipe connecting the two ! (listen here at 22"10).

But even if only a part of them are cooked, no responsible hekhsher would give a blanket allowance to potatoes if some are cooked. The Scroll K clearly says that processed potatoes require reliable certification. I read the ones not requiring as being frozen raw and not containing oil.
