Sorry but a little late. There are several places on the net that mention about the ease of peeling potatoes. Boil them, then while still hot drop them in ice water for 15 to 30 seconds and the peelings will slide right off. When I was a kid we did this to tomatoes and canned them whole. It looks like you garden did very well this year. I finally got my pineapple patch cleaned out. I have 140 plants but no pineapples this year, more fertilizer for next year. Bob
We’ve used that technique with tomatoes. Works well.
Our garden did very well this year, thank the Lord and the compost that we applied last fall.
No pineapples? What a pity. I know you put a lot of work into that Bob. Next year . . . :food:
Too funny! And I have my Riven brain in gear, so I see hints of creatures that I am supposed to be identifying as clues.
Great! I see cheerleader, baby dinosaur and turtle or shark.
And how the heck are you supposed to eat those??? I like their creative spirit though.
Preferably, cooked. :ha: They’ll be cut up before they end up in the potato salad.
I say a work of art.
Kinda neat, huh? :up:
it’s like.. a potato made of a bunch of little potatoes! What a weird looking spud!
You’ve nailed it Heather. We had a few of them like that in this year’s crop. I see strange critters in those shapes. Okay, the cheerleader is not a strange critter, but the other two are.
Going to tough peeling those ‘taters!
They’ll have to be partially dissected before peeling. We have an apple peeler and coring machine (hand cranked). I’ve removed the part that removes the core, and it works well on potatoes.
For our own personal use, we normally leave the peels on. Not only is it easier, but it preserves a lot of nutrition.
Now that’s just weird. We dug our taters the other day, and they all looked like potatoes. What’s going on in your soil? :beam:
Yes, it is! Weird that is. :think: Our soil has a fair amount of clay in it, and I suspect that is the explanation. Fortunately, most of the dug spuds feature a normal appearance. 8)
