I mentioned this last year, but it is such a good tip I thought I would mention it again. With Christmas right around the corner, many of us will be processing 10 to 20 pounds of potatoes.
A fast and easy way to clean all those potatoes at once is to put them on the top rack of your dishwasher and run a quick rinse cycle. The potatoes are clean and you aren’t taking up valuable sink space in the kitchen.
I have tried this and it really works!

Wow! Whoever would have thought! I’m in Scotland, so we don’t really ‘do’ Thanksgiving in the same way as you, but that’s such a fabulous tip for other times I’m washing loads and loads of tatties – quite often actually!
Thanks for posting this….
Love, Anne x

What about the rinse aid…will that dispense during the rinse cycle?
TheHappyHousewife says
I don’t use a rinse aid, so I am not sure.

That is an excellent trick. Thanks!

What a great tip! I would have never thought of that.
Barb Jones says
Great tip, but the thought of peeling ALL those potatoes makes me shudder!

Why can’t I put potatoes on the bottom rack of a dishwasher at the same time as using the top rack for potatoes?
