Potato water is also great for making potato bread at home; a lot of recipes for it call for either it or plain water if none's available. Using the reserved potato water makes a big difference in both taste and texture of "hands on" or bread machine recipes.

If there's a lag between when you have potato water and when you plan to bake, just freeze portions of it until you're ready.

I always use the potato water for gravy when cooking roast etc. If there is too much, freeze and save until there is enough for making soup.

I also like to drink hot potato water especially if I'm having digestive issues. My fave seasoning is celery salt and black pepper. A sprinkle of powdered bouillon is a nice touch too, even a little milk and a dab of butter!

I only do this with peeled potatoes. I don't want to consume the fertilizers and pesticides on the skin.
