Oddly enough I keep the skin on. It's supposed to contain all the nutrients. BUT!!! You must scrub that sucker clean before you cook it.

Oh, go out and buy a grater. You'll be so happy. Try the cheese grater first. Yeah, I know it's a lot of work. And be careful you don't skin your knuckles.

That's why I use the V slicer FOR EVERYTHING. It came with this handly holder thing so you just jab into into the potato and grate away.

can't wait to hear how you made out.
