If you were a real, live grown-up person with a kitchen, where might you keep your potato scrubbing-cleaning brush?

This is not a hypothetical question.

ETA: Alternate question: for those of you grown-ups that do not own or do not have access to a potato brush, how do you clean your potatoes?

I wash them with my hands and running water. It hasn't hurt me yet, and I eat a lot of potatoes.

Well, the owner of said kitchen just called to check on her dog that I'm taking care of, and she said I should clean out a sponge of soap and use the rough side of the sponge. I'm thinking -- no, thanks, I'll use hands. Or maybe a paper towel, as Kristen just suggested.

A potato brush is so much more civilized! At home we have one shaped like a potato. hee.

This is my method as well. Thirty-five years of cooking and I haven't killed anyone yet.

We used to have a wide variety of vegetable scrubbers. xD We always kept them sort of with the sponge by the sink I suppose.

Haha. I like this entry. xD

with my hands? although now i come to think about it, i would like a potato brush.

I generally use the scrubbie that we use for hand-washing dishes? (it is usually either somewhere around the kitchen sink, or occasionally under it.) I rinse it real good first, then scrub 'taters.

Ahhhahahahahah .... my potatoes are in the freezer at McDonald's, waiting for me to buy them after they've been dipped in hot oil.

Or possibly they are in a cardboard box in my cabinet next to a packet of powdered cheese stuff.
