Do they mean 500g of peeled potatoes or 500g of potatoes, peeled?

Ahem. Do I weigh out 500g of potatoes and peel them, or do I need 500g of peeled potatoes?

I'd weigh it peeled not unpeeled but I don't know if that's right!

I think you are overthinking this

get 500g of spuds and peel 'em

It's 500g of spuds as the amount and then 'Peel and slice' them as the instruction.

I think they mean peeled weight, but I can't imagine actaully weighing them. Just enough so it looks about right

Definately potatoes unpeeled, then the method would say to peel them
