people should wash the potatoes before cooking because people handle them not only that they aren't very clean when you buy them in the bag

Mama is right! Anything that comes out of the ground needs to be washed! Potatoes I wash, peel and wash again or rinse however you want to say it.

I never wash my potatoes before I peel them. I wash them after they’re peeled!

Wash your damn fruits , vegetables and any food like meats before you begin processing them into your meal! Only imbeciles do not ! And before you touch them wash your hands throughly wash food and then your hands again and process , wash your hands between peeping each dish and once cooking and you go on to do something else wash your hands with warm soapy water . Once your meal is ready to serve wash again and sit down to enjoy your meal ! It’s not rocket science . Clean clean clean !

Of course you wash them. I soak them in cool water for at least 10-15 minutes & scrub them with a good vegetable brush. You will be surprised and grossed out seeing how much dirt ( & who knows what else) comes off of them. I live in Idaho where we grow 🥔😋

Yes there are feces from rodent droppings and other animals in the soil, as well as several nematodes and other microscopic parasites. You should wash before you even peel, let alone boil or bake. Wash again after you peel too. If you have ever grown potatoes you will realize why.
