Like, I get comments from people telling me it's weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and having to reintroduce the cutter knife to the potato for every piece.
No, alcaloids are stable under heat, that's why you should also discard the water when cooking potatoes with skin.
you seem knowledgeable about potatoes. Is it okay to let the water cool down and water outside plants with it?
I don't know, but if you let it sit on your stove for a few days you can develop a really impressive stink!
try it after you boiled it together with some brocolli
Not that I ever reused the potato cooking water, but TIL. Thank you.
