Do you wash freshly dug potatoes?
Online Answer
Let harvested potatoes sit in the garden for an hour or so to dry. As the tubers and soil dry, the soil will drop away from the tubers. If the soil does not drop away, use a soft brush to remove soil from the tubers. Do not wash just harvested potatoes.
