If your silverware is in need a polish, here’s an easy, natural way to get it gleaming again: peel a potato, then cut into a few large pieces. Boil for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and carefully remove the potatoes. Once the water has cooled, set your silverware inside the pot to soak for half an hour. Then, rinse with warm water. The natural acids in the potato that were released as it boiled dissolved the tarnish. You can even use the cooked potato for a salad addition!
