Preparing the Potato Peel Rinse
1. Collecting the Peels:
- Start by peeling about five potatoes. You’ll want to collect the peels from these potatoes, which is enough to make a potent rinse. Make sure the potatoes are well washed before peeling.
2. Boiling the Peels:
- Place the peels in a pot and fill it with enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer the peels for about 25 minutes. The starches in the peels will leach into the water during this process.
3. Straining and Cooling:
- After simmering, strain the water into a large bowl, discarding the peels. Allow the liquid to cool completely before the next step.
