Yes, washing potatoes is essential even if you plan to peel them. Potatoes, often covered in dirt and bacteria from the soil, can transfer contaminants to your knife or cutting board, risking foodborne illnesses.
How to Wash Potatoes:
Submerge in cold water for 15–30 minutes to loosen dirt.
Scrub with a vegetable brush under running water.
Remove eyes and sprouts, then pat dry.For unpeeled recipes like baked potatoes, scrubbing is even more crucial. Avoid washing before storage to prevent moisture and rot. Store in cool, dark areas with good airflow for longer shelf life.
