Professional plumbers strongly advise against putting potato peels down a garbage disposal, as the starchy, fibrous skins easily paste together when ground up, forming a thick, glue-like sludge. This sticky residue coats the interior of the P-trap and branch drain pipes, trapping other food particles and rapidly creating stubborn clogs. Instead of putting potato skins down the sink, it is best to throw them into the trash can or toss them into a compost bin to protect your plumbing system.
