Notes

Top Tip: Why you don't need to peel your potatoes

As you can see from the photos, I don't peel potatoes for this hamburger soup. If you are peeling your potatoes, unless you really enjoy extra work, you can stop now.

The peel is the most nutrient-filled part of the potato so why would you want to peel all those nutrients away and add more unnecessary waste to the environment? Potato peels contain more iron than the flesh of the potatoes and they're also a good source of fiber, vitamin B, and vitamin C. .
