  • Where can I get the mini jumper cables?

  • @fearhan1211 I found them lying around my garage. try your local electronics store- radio shack or something similar to that.

  • do the potatoes have to be peeled or was that your own preference??

  • @javlyz Some websites said to cut the potato in half and insert the copper and nail in the exposed half, others said to peel the potatoes... we figured that oxidation would work better if we peeled the potatoes.
