Soaking vegetables to lower potassium

Peel vegetables and slice thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Rinse them. Place sliced vegetables in a pan of warm water, using 10 times more water than vegetables. Soak for at least 30 minutes. Drain and rinse vegetables. Boil for 5 minutes. Discard the water.

Potatoes that have been soaked this way can be French fried, home fried, mashed, scalloped, or put in soups or stews. Dried beans should be cooked and then soaked; canned beans can simply be rinsed and soaked.
