StormKitty 5 months agoSo that I could pack up the skins, and mail them to you. You could then deep fry them and eat them, scrub your body with them, use them as compost, or whatever you so desire to use them for. Some recipes, such as creamy mashed potatoes, potato salad, and potato cheese soup are better without the potato skin in them IMHO.

boweryboy 5 months agoI’m with Ryan. I never peel my potatoes. The skin provides fiber and helps to retain all of the nutrients. Instead, I use a sturdy vegetable brush and give the potatoes a vigorous scrubbing under slowly running water - almost a trickle. After a minute or two I have a nicely scrubbed potato. I then gouge out any of the eyes with a paring knife. In fact I use this technique for pretty much any root vegetable.

tamib2 8 months agoThis is a dumb website. People aren’t necessarily doing things WRONG, just differently. Who are you to say it’s wrong and your way is right?
