Do I Need to Wash My Potatoes with Soap?

Q:

Last night, I washed our bakers, scrubbed them with a vegetable brush and water, and then plopped them into dish soap and water bath for 20 seconds. This was at advice of a doctor video I saw two days ago. Then, this morning, I read not to use anything but water, What do you recommend?

A:

What you read is correct. Simply rinse potatoes before preparing, using clean water from the tap. Definitely no soap is required!
