Scrubbing potatoes
#14
I use a brush that is supposed to be used for scrubbing dishes. It has hard bristles. Don't know why some potatoes are soooo dirty. They used to wash them. I also add a little white vinegar to the water and that helps loosen the dirt

I discovered these at my daughter's house when I went to care for her and the new grandson:

I found they work reasonably well; better the second time I used them. My arthritic fingers and hands do feel better with a brush.

I just scrub the with a brush and cut out any part that I have doubts about. Oil the skins and bake in a hot oven. My mother told me...not that I believe it... that "you have to eat a tablespoon of dirt a day to stay healthy." Her mother told her. They probably had limited water in the "old country." But, she always washed her potatoes first! I do the same thing for sweet potato. I always eat the skin on both kinds.
