Potatoes in the Raw

Published on Friday, July 7, 2006, by Pat Hammond / Edit Post

Eating raw potatoes may not be popular in this country, but it’s common in China, where HLing says julienned raw potato is mixed with vinegar and sesame oil for a refreshing summer dish. It’s crispy and not at all starchy. Sichuan restaurants serve that dish here. There are also stir-fried potato dishes that leave the potatoes quite crispy.

Go ahead and try raw potato, but do use the freshest potatoes you can find. (supermarket spuds are just too old.) Peel, slice, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. See what you think!

Caveat: A couple of hounds have reported being allergic to raw potatoes.

  • I love eating raw potato. My body craves for them all the time, I like to eat them when drinking cold water. I like them crispy so I peel them and slice em, put em in a bowl of cold water and they go in the fridge. I eat a slice or two here and there through out the day. I just can't get enough of them. I do use the freshest one's. Their no good if their old and soft.
