Easter also breaks down the common stereotype that potatoes are unhealthy for you. “The problem is us and what we do with them,” Easter explains. "Often the preparation of the potato and all that you add in are what contribute to an unhealthy meal." But the humble spud itself? It is the real superfood, according to Easter.

Ask Dr. Potato: I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I'm in my 50’s and have never made potato salad from scratch but that's the way it is. I have two questions for you: Can I cut up the potatoes before I cook them and, if I do, how long should I boil them? Is there a good reason why the potatoes need to be peeled as long as I’ve scrubbed them clean?
A: First, cut the potatoes into large chunks (1 to 1 ½ inches square) and they will cook faster in boiling water without breaking down. When you cook the potato whole it often means that the outside will be mushy while the center is not quite done. Start with cold water and toss in the potatoes. It will vary on how long it takes based on your stove’s heat (electric and gas can differ as gas is usually quicker to boil), but usually, I check them at 15 minutes. If you stab a piece with the knife and it can be squished or mashed, the potato is done. Hard spots mean you need to continue to cook until “fork tender”.
Second, it’s fine to leave the skin on. Many of the potatoes nutrients are in the skin or just under that surface.
