A culinary necessity, peeling a potato is a chore that always needs to be done. We will show you two safe ways to peel a potato, using both cooked and ...
@srussian potatoes, like all nightshade plants, produce solanine. they do
this from the eyes. the poison spreads under the skin. cooking the potato
doesn't destroy the poison. peeling is best. i go out and buy fresh when
i'm preparing skin-on potatoes. i'm not a health nut and i couldn't care
about organic and stuff. it just seems reasonable though to avoid ingesting
poison as much as i can. cheers!
It's a stupid way to boil your potato where it takes a lot more energy to
boil and make ice cubes and takes more time. Peel it with a special knife
very thin and cut it in pieces, so it boils faster.
This is easier, but it has 2 setbacks: 1. A whole potato takes longer to
cook then a chopped up one (so this doesn't actually save time) 2. It won't
soak up all the salt this way
Skin is where most of the good stuff (and bad in the sense of pesticides
etc. if it isn't organic) resides. And they call me Finnish for not
peeling... it's ridiculous :D
