It is common for even the best home cooks to seek various shortcuts to simplify the cooking process. Recently, two women introduced the internet to an off-beat method to wash potatoes. In an Instagram video, they demonstrate how large quantities of potatoes can be efficiently washed in the dishwasher. Despite the creators’ confidence in the effectiveness of their hack, the online community’s response was not too favourable towards this unconventional approach to potato washing.

In the video, the two women position potatoes out of “3 bags” on both the top and bottom racks of the dishwasher. They discuss the time-saving aspect, emphasising that handwashing would have been a much more time-consuming task. When the person behind the camera asks about the addition of detergent, one of the women clarifies that they will not be using any detergent for this process. After this, they set the dishwasher on rinse mode, and all the potatoes are washed in just 4 minutes.
