Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Chemical change is said to occur when a new substance is formed. Chemical changes are irreversible in nature. When a potato is cooked, although it appears that the potato remains the same, the chemical properties of that cooked potato are different from that of uncooked one. Also one cannot reverse the cooking, so cooking potatoes is a chemical change.
The correct statement would be, a chemical change occurs when potatoes are cooked.
