Randomguy Posted September 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2020 ? I have taken to making thick slices of regular and sweet potatoes and baking them without peeling them. I am wrong to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just scrub them down with the veggie brush and remove anything that looks suspicious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato skins in mashed potatoes prove they are homemade and reduce grumpiness by 18% on average. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted September 4, 2020 Share #9 Posted September 4, 2020 For mashed leave the peels on 1/4 of them as measured by weight not number of potatoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted September 4, 2020 Share #10 Posted September 4, 2020 I like to brush the skins with olive oil & sprinkle a little salt on them & eat em. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap that is specific! Did Einstein make you do that? Good idea though. My wife makes our mashed taters 85% of the time, so maybe I’ll leave a few skins on next time I make them for myself. That sounds good. And I do like it when restaurants (remember those?) do it, usually with redskins (will they have to rename them too?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted September 5, 2020 Share #12 Posted September 5, 2020 ...I grate russet potatoes with the skins on, and use them in frittata's. You can pretty much grate any tuber without peeling it, and use it in whatever you are cooking. Except maybe Jello. Don't do this with Jello. In fact, don't buy Jello. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted September 5, 2020 Share #16 Posted September 5, 2020 I only remove damaged tissue like cuts and strange spots. The skins are healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've ever peeled a carrot, and seldom use a brush. Isn't true that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this one enormous metal pan of Jello (IIRC it was the green kind), that showed up on the chow line at the Naval Hospital in Naples when I worked there, every day for three weeks. Same pan...same Jello. I have a lot of Jello trauma....don't get me started. The only saving grace for the stuff is hot chick Jello wrestling.
