Hey Guys,
I tried googling this but didn't have much luck so I'm asking here. How does one make potato juice without a juicer? I have to wait 2 weeks for my juicer to arrive, really pissed off with Omega. I need to start drinking potato juice fast as an experiment for a skin problem I have.
Thanks in advance
:)

Blend in a blender and strain it.

Are you sure that this is good for you.
Potatoes are not edible in their natural form so that indicates to me that they are not meant to be consumed by humans.

Blah....doesn't sound very appealing. I've also heard raw white potatoes are not good for you. How about jicama or something? :D

Fresh, healthy raw potatoes are not "bad" for you. The only problem comes with a sunburned potato; that is, GREEN on the skin and into the flesh. That part can be cut away completely and the rest should be ok. A bitter tasting potato, whether green or not should not be consumed either.
That being said, it doesn't sound like that great an idea, long term, anyway...

Hmm..yam juice. Might give that a try, with something else in it, of course. :D

Thank you. You're the only person who answered my question.
:)
To the others, I have my reasons for why I want to drink potato juice but it's too long to explain hence why I never explained it in the first place.

I'm guessing you didn't need a million answers. Revvell was the first person to respond. The rest of us, just talking about it. :D

You guessed wrong probably because you don't know me that well. I like to hear a range of thoughts and tips. Obviously a million is too much. I'm new to this stuff and I figured there would be different ways of doing things, different tools etc. It just sucks to spend over $200 on a juicer that doesn't work. So I have to wait 2 weeks to get a new one so I wanted to find a cheap way to make juice from potatoes. I'm not going to buy a blender. :/

I eat raw potatoes all the time ... avoiding any green parts of course. So, I can't see why the juice would be bad for you. Don't know what it will taste like tho. hmmm -think I'll give it a try. But anyway, Revvell is right, just blend them up and strain them through a nutmilk bag (or a paint strainer bag works too). This is the way I juice pretty much everything when I'm traveling and don't have access to a juicer, but do have a magic bullet or blender.
enjoy

Is it potato juice on its own that you are experimenting with or is that one ingredient on the list. Is it supposed to clear up a certain skin concern?
Also, if you don't have a good blender, I have put fruit/veg combos in the food processor ($18 bucks @ Target) and strained them.
The only blender I have is the Magic Bullet, which I love for shakes and soft stuff, but don't have much luck with when it comes to breaking up things like celery or carrots and probably potatoes would be the same result.

That's right, it is a skin concern and yes potato juice on it's own. I did buy the omega juicer from Amazon but it came broken and I don't know what stores to go to so I don't have to worry about shipping. I'm new to America. I'll check out the food processor. I thought the Omega would be good, apparently it's quiet and easy to clean.
