Brilio.net - Potatoes are often used in various vegetable dishes such as soup, balado potatoes , and lontong sayur. In addition, potatoes are also often used as an alternative to rice because they are rich in health benefits. According to ucdavis.edu, potatoes contain high levels of antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and minerals. Complex carbohydrates in potatoes are good for the body and make you feel full longer, making them suitable as a substitute for everyday rice.
Although useful, many find potatoes difficult to process, especially when peeling because they quickly turn black. Usually, potatoes are soaked in water or salt water to prevent discoloration. However, netizens on the TikTok account @deviyanti1222 show a different way. In her upload, Devi shows how mothers around her store peeled potatoes so that they remain bright yellow without soaking them in water, making it more practical.
"I got new knowledge again. Do you guys know yet?" he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @deviyanti1222 on Tuesday (11/5).

Well, the trick is, after the potatoes are peeled, don't throw the skin away immediately. Instead, all the potato skins should be stored together with all the potatoes, either in a bowl or basket. Reported from thespruceeats.com, potato skins can work naturally to prevent oxygen from meeting the enzymes in the potatoes.
Because, if oxygen has entered the potato and met the enzyme, the result is that the color can change. This process is also known as oxidation. However, even though the color changes, the potatoes are still safe to eat. However, it would be more appetizing if the color of the potatoes remained bright, right?
