Much easier method; it you don't want potato starch don't eat
potatoes, voila!... there is no way to wash away potato starch and
still have potatoes. In fact washing will wash away the vitamins and
minerals but will leave most of the starch until there's no potato
left... potato starch is not water soluable. I would suggest a
Mr./Mrs. Potatohead for turnips.
Less potato starch... the Christ family method:
