potatoes are also good for.......

[Kitchen Witch]

Got a potato that's sprouted?? Cut out the sprouted chunk and bury it, sprout-side up, in potting soil to cover by 1/2-inch. Place pot in a sunny spot and water often as you watch it grow.




Cut a raw potato in half. Using a sharp knife, cut a pattern into the cut side. Dip in paint or ink, blot, then stamp onto paper or fabric for a one-of-a-kind design.




Broken light bulb still in the socket? Shut off the circuit breaker, then insert the broken stem of the bulb into a raw potato; twist off.



Rub the cut side of a raw potato over your hands to erase food stains, such as berry juice.





Make baked potatoes in half the time. Prick with a fork and microwave on HIGH for a few minutes before popping them in the oven. You'll get the crispy skin - but in half the time.
