Honestly? Most of the time, yes. It’s a tiny extra step that turns a ho-hum potato into a showstopper. It’s the difference between “I made potatoes” and “I made potatoes.” You know what I mean?
But life is short. If you forget or don’t feel like it, your potatoes will still be edible. They might be a little sad, but they won’t ruin dinner. Just don’t serve them to Sarah.
Go on, give it a try tonight. Boil ’em, bake ’em, and enjoy that satisfying crunch-sigh when you take a bite. You’ve earned it.
