healthy eating to reduce starch, a quick rinse under cold water can wash away much of the surface starch, more starch is removed from a cut potato than a whole peeled potato, because a greater surface area is exposed on cut potatoes. soak them in cold water for as long as a few hours to remove more starch than by rinsing alone.
