A good potato cooker is essential for a great potato dish, but there's one step that can ruin the entire meal. Potatoes should always be washed and scrubbed before skinning, even if this is not done before they are put in the tub. Since potatoes grow underground there is soil, debris and potential foodborne pathogens on their skin. When peeling a dirty potato, you are exposing these surface contaminants directly to all of the clean flesh, and thereby creating a health hazard.
