You peel potatoes? I quit doing that 10 years ago, you lose to many vitamins and nutrients, not to mention flavor, when you peel potatoes.
Some of the best quality time my husband and I have had with our daughter has been some of our cooking endeavors. Making homemade ravioli with a 3 year old is an experience I will never forget!
The problem is that pesticides reside in the skin. I’m not an alarmist, but my husband teaches in the agricultural area and he requests that we always remove the peel. So we do. But you’re right that you lose a lot of the vitamins.
