  We study the Higgs potentials in the Left-Right symmetric model for various
choices of Higgs fields. We give emphasis to the cases when the Higgs field
$\xi=(2,2,15)$ is included to give the correct relations of quark masses and a
singlet field $\eta$ which breaks the left-right parity. As special cases we
also include $\xi^\prime=(2,2,15)$ and $\chi=(2,2,6)$ (which are interesting in
the context of the three lepton decay mode of the proton) and field
$\delta=(3,3,0)$ none of which acquire {\it vev}. We show that the linear
couplings of these fields upon minimization put fine tuning conditions on the
parameters of the model. We carry out the minimization of these potentials
explicitly. In all the cases the relationship between the {\it vev$\;$}s of the
left and right handed triplets $v_L$ and $v_R$ are given. The phenomenological
consequences of this minimization regarding the neutrino masses are also
studied.
