"Hi, this is Leah Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village and today I’m going to show you how to cook with a Dutch oven. Okay, we’re going to go ahead and wash up the potatoes now and potatoes get really, really nasty with dirt and grime so you’ve got to scrub them really, really good. I like to use warm water and just take my hands and rub it over. I’m going to run it under to water, probably a minute or so for each potato, because I really want to make sure that they are clean. We’re not going to peel them, so we’re using every part of them including the skins so we want to make sure that the skin is really clean.

A little bit more, okay, we’ll do this with all the potatoes. "
