When catering for a crowd and you plan to boil potatoes, peel the potatoes in advance and keep them in a large bowl covered with cold water. Change the water daily, keep in a cool place.
Deep fry fine potato peelings until crispy to make a delicious snack.
Try stuffing halved baked potatoes, which have had the flesh removed, with cheese, meat, fish or vegetables. If you wish, mash the cooked potato and mix it with your chosen filling. Spoon it back into the potato skin, sprinkle with cheese and brown under a hot grill. Always eat the skin of a baked potato, as it provides a good amount of fibre.
When you scoop out the cooked potato with a spoon, leave a little next to the skin so that the skin won't burn or tear when recooked.
