You've Been Eating Potatoes Wrong This Whole Time

Potatoes are mainly seen as a food item for side dishes, but it's hard to call yourself a foodie and live without eating potatoes. Some of the simplest and best food dishes involve potatoes. French fries, mashed potatoes, and poutine are some of life’s simple pleasures.

Soups, stews, and curries are not the same without the starchy quality that potatoes bring. Without potatoes, we wouldn’t have potato vodka, and samosas and pierogies would just be tasteless baked goods.

To take your potato eating experience to the next level, here’s what you need to avoid the next time you prepare them.

Don't skin your potato's but make sure to remove any green parts under the skin.

[jovanweismiller]

I haven't peeled a potato in over 40 years! LOL!

So the skin really is the best part. I always liked to eat the skin if the potato I thought I was just weird. Mom used to scrub the skin with a vegetable brush to make sure other all of dirt off before baking. Yum.

The skins also help keep the potato from falling apart when cooking in a curry/stew

I love all potatoes, prepared any ol' way, even raw, must include the peeling always! I had a sweet potato for supper with butter, brown sugar & cinnamon and of course the peeling. 🥔🍟

I haven’t peeled my potatoes or even my carrots for years.

Caution! If you are eating the skins, you should only be eating organically grown potatoes. Conventionally grown potatoes carry a very high pesticide load, and most of that is located in the skin. She did say morning glory! But that is the sweet potato, not the white potato. Also, sweet potato leaves are edible and make great greens.

Does the pharmacy carry Potato Vitamins???

Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew

[Trashytrash]

It makes sense they would know how to eat a potato the “right” way because the channel name is literally Mashed

[amcindian]

What about the fact that amount of pesticides and chemicals sprayed over potatoes?
The info will work in stone age but not in this modern age.

[BradB]

I tend to get baked potatoes and eat them kinda like an apple…
