Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I rinse my potatoes after chopping them into the desired size and it does a great job of removing extra starch. I don't recommend adding bleach. I just put my potatoes into a strainer bowl and put it under running water and toss the potatoes with my hands while the water runs over them. The starching water goes out the strainer bowl holes. Judy - a_paragonxx Tuesday, September 02, 2008 11:13 AM Washing chopped potatoes Greetings!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I wouldn't use bleach as bleach is poisonous to us. I slice the potatoes and then soak them for maybe 10 minutes then drain. This will remove some of the starch. Gayle In a message dated 9/2/2008 12:28:56 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, a_paragon writes: Greetings!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 DO NOT USE BLEACH!!!!! Unless you like ingesting a caustic poison that will burn your insides, destroy your kidneys, diminish your cognative and mental abilities, and/or kill you. Seriously, do not use bleach to clean vegetables or fruits. Bleach is very bad for you. You can soak potatoes in water only to help remove excess starch.
