Peeled and pressure cooked for atleast 20 minutes. Boiling works too but it's 2-3x longer.

How about peeling and then cutting them in half to half the boiling time? Would that be ok?

wait what do you mean exactly with this

They say Water drains the Starch out of the Potato. You should (normally) lay them for 1 Hour in a pot with COLD Salt Water. Then you throw the Cold salt Water away and put the new Salt Water in it. The Starch should be mostly gone.

oh dear god lol.
Saying you will remove the starch from a potato by soaking it is like saying you are going to remove the protein from a steak by soaking it. Picture a piece of steak or fish. It's not that steak or fish has protein, it is protein. It's a lump of pure protein. It's not that a potato has starch, it is starch.
When you peel the skin off a potato you have a ball of pure white starch. Within that ball of pure white starch are some pectins, fiber, vitamins and minerals, keto acids, and unstudied/undiscovered phytonutrients. Some potatoes such as new potatoes have more sugar and less starch but all roots or tubers have starch.

At @Hgreen56 I don't think he's wrong in saying so. If you browse the internets it says that peeled potatoes soaked in cold water release loose starch...

Well if this true? then the water must be yellow or something right, and that isn't.
if you make potato juice, in the end you have a big bal of starch... that is the potato, but it looks like little weird because you have suck all of the water and nutrition's out of it and the end result is 100% starch.
