How do you clean a potato without a brush?

Scrubbing Potatoes Without a Brush If you do not have a vegetable brush handy you can use a paper towel to scrub a potato. Wet the towel with warm water and start rubbing the outside. Scrub the potato firmly but not too hard. The paper towel should not act as sandpaper removing the skin.

Is there an easy way to scrape new potatoes?

My preferred way to scrape potatoes is to dump them (after rinsing potatoes outside using a hose) into the sink. Turn on a very small stream of cold water and scrape the potato. The water will be rinsing off the skins for better scraping visibly leaving the potato clean.

How do you peel a potato without a peeler?
