    If i gave my husband scrubbed and not peeled potatoes he'd say 'having a lazy moment were you love?':mad:

    He doesn't like new potatoes for that reason but at least i can say 'if i peeled them there would be nothing left of them'.:)

    Hope he is joking cos if that was my OH he would be wearing one up each nostril - unpeeled:D

    tell your OH you are trying to be healthy as most of the Vits in a potato are just under the skin ;)

    Wont wash i'm afraid. He doesn't do 'healthy food'. All vegetables have to be vetted and meat checked for fat. Of course that doesn't stop me slipping the odd meal in that he doesn't like.:D

    Potato wedges are healthy, low fat and don't require peeling. We eat the quite often...
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    Bloomin' Heck, if my OH gave me any lip about my culinary skills / choices, he got told that if he ain't happy, he can #@*$ well do it himself! :eek:

    Actually he's quite a good cook now & enjoys it - it's a chore for me... :(

    Judi my love, a knife and fork usually comes with dinner (unless, like me you eat some things with a spoon straight from the pot!)

    So husband looks at unpeeled spuds, takes fork, sticks into cooked spud, gets knife, peels off skin, which is easy when spuds are hot.

    Places skins elsewhere, eats peeled spuds. Voila. We do have to make our men self sufficient somehow!
