Brilio.net - Potatoes are a food ingredient that can be processed into various kinds of dishes. From crispy French fries to soup filling, this food ingredient can be processed using various cooking techniques to make a variety of delicious dishes. However, there is one challenge behind using potatoes for various dishes, namely the washing process.
The reason is, cleaning potatoes is often complicated homework for some people. How could it not be, thin potato skins often contain dirt that must be removed. Another challenge is the uneven surface. The concave parts of potatoes often contain a lot of dirt that requires extra cleaning.
Therefore, you need to be careful when cleaning potatoes so that no dirt is left behind and the flesh is wasted. To overcome this, some people usually peel the potato skin carefully. However, there are also those who choose to rub them one by one using their hands so that the dirt really comes off.
Even though it is effective, this method will take a very long time if you want to process quite a lot of potatoes. Many people then rack their brains to shorten the time to clean potatoes. Instagram user @alonaloewen has an unusual trick for cleaning large quantities of potatoes. Instead of using his hands manually, he relied on machines.
