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.

            香粉寮 香粉寮 （英文： Heung Fan Liu ）位於香港新界沙田區大圍，其北面山坡為大圍村原居民用以安葬之地。 目录 1 命名 2 歷史 2.1 天體活動 3 相關參見 4 參考文獻 5 外部連結 命名 香粉寮中的「香粉」是指該地一帶所種植的香樹上的粉末，而「寮」則指以前當地居民在該地所搭建的寮屋。 歷史 以前，當地居民以出產香料為生，並在當地種植香木，靠旁邊的城門河水力磨製香粉。 天體活動 在1930年代，該地曾以舉辦天體活動而聞名。 在1932年，當時一名連伯氏（Lanepart）的拉脫維亞人成立香港裸體運動會（ Hong Kong Nudist Society ），在該處進行天體活動，引來香港傳媒廣泛報導 [1] 。當時華人社會對於裸體的觀點，與外籍人士大為有異，也出於好奇，探頭探腦令天體營不勝其擾，天體營最終搬離，遠走馬灣島中鑊底灣，直至1960年代，由於參與人數不足，於鑊底灣的天體活動亦告終止。 相關參見 美田邨 恆峰花園 翠景花園 香粉寮街 碧田街 香粉寮發展項目 參考文獻 ^ 拂袖生. <<初談香港早期天體運動>>(上).
