      Hi, Jamie! Great question. I boil potato until it’s cooks thru with a peel on, then peel it after its cooked, then grate it on the grater after it cools off. I hope this helps.

      I cook potato in boiling water, with peel on, until potato turns soft inside when inserted with a knife about 10-15 minutes (depends on the size of the potato). Hope this helps!

    Curious about how you grate a cooked potato? How do you cook the potato? Could you use smashed tater tots or thawed hashbrowns?

      Same question! I’m not so sure that one could grate a cooked potato while maintaining texture, and I feel like pre-cooking grated potato would give you hash browns.

How do you cook raw jalapenos? ›

Are jalapeños bad for dogs? ›

Dogs cannot eat jalapeños without experiencing adverse side effects from the hot peppers. Jalapeños are not toxic to dogs, but they can harm your dog's health.

What does soaking jalapeños in water do? ›

DO reach for some dairy. Many milk-based products contain a protein called casein, which can help break down those capsaicin tricksters. Think of casein as a detergent — attracting, surrounding and helping wash away the oil-based capsaicin molecules floating around your mouth, similar to how soap washes away grease.

Why drink milk after eating hot peppers? ›

Enjoy every bite by pairing your spicy dish with a refreshing glass of milk.

This relief is thanks to casein, a protein found in cow's milk.
