Vodka is made from potatoes. Potatoes are starchy. It does add some starch to the fabric. Not real stiff but I like the results.....
Most of the vodka on the market is actually made from grains (mostly sorghum, corn, rye or wheat). Anything that is rich in carbs (starch) can be used, including soybeans, molasses, grapes, rice, sugar, etc. There are still some vodkas that include potatoes, but they are a tiny minority, more of a novelty than anything.
The most expensive vodkas are made from wheat or rye.
