    You definitely can! It's high in nutrients like fiber and it adds more texture, flavor, and color.

  • Question
    How much potato may I lose when manually peeling a potato instead of using an electric peeler?
    Community Answer
    A potato peeler sometimes pull some parts of the potato. Using the second method, your potato stays in its original shape and size.

  • Question
    After peeling my potato, does it need to go in water so it doesn't darken?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Soak cut or sliced potatoes in salt water -- especially if you are making fries.
