3. Peeling and slicing the eyes.
It is necessary to peel the potato, and part of the sprout should be removed. The skin of potato contains alkaloids, which can cause nausea and diarrhea when consumed in large quantities.
When potatoes are cut, they tend to oxidize and turn black, which is normal.
To peel: Prepare a baking sheet with tin foil (for baking). Fold the tin foil into a ball, and use the tin foil ball to rub the potato's skin. Place the potatoes that have been scrubbed with the tin foil in a basin of water, and the potato skin will float away.
When peeling potatoes, only the thin layer of skin should be removed because the potato flesh below has rich protein.

How to choose potatoes and pumpkins, although the potato and pumpkin stew is a very delicious dish, if the cooking is not good, then the food will become a regular guest in the garbage.
However, when it comes to making Potato and Pumpkin Stew, the selection of ingredients is crucial. How should you choose the right potatoes and pumpkins? The selection method for pumpkins: 1. Look at the appearance.
The fresh pumpkin's outer skin is tough and hard to the touch. It doesn't leave any finger marks when you press with your fingernail, and it has a rough texture. Although it may not look good, its taste could be better.
2. Color.
The skin color of a pumpkin is best when it is golden yellow with a slight reddish hue, or a deep green.
3. Aspect. Please translate the above text into English.
The cross-section of the pumpkin should be firm and glossy, emitting a distinctive, pleasant fragrance, and the flesh should remain intact.
4. Weigh it.
A pumpkin that feels heavy when lifted is generally of better quality.
5. melon flesh.
When selecting a cut pumpkin, choose one with bright, deep orange flesh, as such pumpkins are higher in nutritional content.
Here’s the English translation of the potato selection tips: 1. Avoid buying washed potatoes. 2. There are too many varieties of potatoes—reportedly over 5,000—so you can't determine their starchiness based on flesh color. For mashed potatoes, serve them hot; the hotter, the better. 3. Pink-fleshed potatoes aren’t actually rare; they’re just less commonly cultivated in China. The flesh is usually white or yellow.
Black (purple) potatoes have flesh that is entirely black (which lightens when heated). Here are some tips for selecting variegated potatoes: 4. Sprouted potatoes are toxic—this is basic knowledge. Additional tip: When storing potatoes, keep them away from light. Excessive exposure to light can cause the potato skin to turn green, which also leads to the production of a large amount of solanine.
However, solanine decomposes at high temperatures (170°C), so the risk of poisoning is relatively low.
Even if the potatoes have sprouted, you can still use them by digging a bit deeper and peeling off about 3mm of the skin. The solanine, which is the main toxin, is primarily concentrated in the skin and the eyes of the sprouts. When purchasing potatoes, choose ones with intact skins and dry surfaces, as these will have a longer shelf life and better taste.
Additionally, it is advisable to avoid purchasing potatoes that have sprouted, as they contain toxins and are not suitable for consumption. Furthermore, if you notice that the skin of a potato has turned green, it indicates the presence of toxic alkaloids. Consuming such potatoes can lead to poisoning.
Additionally, overly large potatoes may have grown too old, and their fibers can be coarser, making them less suitable for consumption.
Do not choose potatoes that are frostbitten or rotten, with grayish flesh or black spots, and with shriveled moisture.
