Ask Dr. Potato
Q: Help! The cold weather is making my skin super dry. Can I use potatoes to create a hand mask?

A: Try our nourishing Potato Hand Mask! Redness, irritation, and dryness will all be soothed with this luxurious, 2-ingredient remedy.

Start by peeling, cutting up, and boiling 1 medium-size Idaho® russet potato. Drain the potato and allow it to slightly cool. Then, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mash the potato until smooth. Massage the potato onto your hands using a circular motion. Allow to sit for 15 minutes then wash the mask off with warm water.
