Am I the only person that peels my potatoes for potato salad? I use regular baking potatoes and peel them. This is when my Vidalia Chop Wizard comes in! Perfect cubes and no cutting...uh...except for my injuries from the chop wizard, of course!!


I never peel my potatoes for salad, or even mashed potatoes. Reasons being:

!. Who has the time?
2. The skin is good for you.
3. Once again, who has the time?

Makes it look a bit more rustic, but oh well. Like I said, who has the time!

But for those of you who peel... can you come over to my house sometime??
 
I only peel after I've been sunburned.Too bad you don't know someone who could get you a deal on a really good potato peeler.

Is it still called Best on the West Coast? Maybe it was Best Foods. I can hear the song in my head

"Bring out the Best Foods...when you bring out the BEST!"

Yep, still Best Foods...never forget when I went to Detroit 20+ years ago...looking for Best Foods...making dinner for my DH's relatives...couldn't find it...everyone was staring at me...didn't know why...a kind man helped me to find Hellman's...come to find out they were staring at me because they didn't see many Asians back then in their neighborhood...I'm Japanese, in a store FULL of African Americans! Clueless!!! LOL
