Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'potato' (starchy tuber) with 'pulp' (a wet, pulpy mass); a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer it refers to the pulpy/mashed material or byproduct of potatoes. This noun–noun compounding follows regular English composition patterns and has clear parallels in other languages, making the sense immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Potato pulp comes from a simple, literal picture: after people mash potatoes and wash out the starch, what is left is the soft, stringy pulp of the potato. That's why the term refers to the 'leftover' fibrous product often used as 'animal feed'.
