Why peel potatoes? Most of the nutrition is in the skin!

Hi Dawn,

I am sorry, but this tip is no good.

You waste to much energy.

Don't peal the potatoes and don't cook them soft.

If they are close to be cooked, pour the water of and put the cooking pot under a blanket in your bed to keep the heat,

Some 15 or 20 minute, they are fine cooked.

I loved the famous Idaho potatoes, even with big caves inside.

@clmason33172 the idea that potato skins are full of nutrients is a myth. The skins contain nothing but cellulose (which the human body can't break down), a slight lipid (oil) residue from when the cells were living at one time, and pesticides since the skin is the plants first line of defense against foreign contaminants. The only thing that skins are good for is adding fiber to your diet to help you poop. Just FYI =)

What a great system. She's still cute.

[pipefitters1]

yep she`s still a keeper

Loss of nutritional value aside, I can see this method reducing waste in a cost effective kitchen. Absolutely, no waste on that potato! Interesting, none-the-less!

What a tip! Love it! Thanks.

Been doing beets like this for years!

Put the beets (without even cleaning them) into a pot, cover with water, check with a fork to see when they are tender.

Take the whole pot, put in the sink, empty boiling water (& dirt & scum from unwashed beets), fill the pot with cold water while still in the sink and the beet skins slip right off!

Beautiful, glossy, smooth and perfect peeled and boiled beets! ;-)

About potatoes...

We organic, & leave the skins on for extra fiber and nutrients.

in reply to w4aup.... your going to boil the potatos anyways.... so you would save time! Its much faster and wayyy easier this way!

Thanks Dawn. My Son Mark worked with you in LA on a stage play a few years ago. I forgot the name of it right off, I think you were working with Ziggy and Maybe James Earl Jones. He sent me your autographed picture. You're still as pretty as ever. I still have the picture and always will. (At least for a few more years).
