I'm making a family casserole recipe including sliced potatoes and rice
I've made many dozens of times.

Question: will I ruin it if I just wash but not peel the sliced potatoes?
What if I substitute brown for the white rice?

I prefer high fiber meals and this will increase the fiber a fair amount in
this recipe.

TIA

....

No you will not ruin it. Brown rice and potato peels, well washed, are good for you and taste good too!!

The evil food processing plants catered to people's ignorance and made things like white bread, white rice, etc. which many now considered the norm, but what else do we consider the norm today? Autism, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancers, etc.!!

Maybe Mother Nature had the right idea all along!!

I support you getting all the above.

Potatoes AND rice? Wow!

Not ruin it, but you might get pieces of potato peel loose in the dish,
depending on how you cut the potatoes, what kind of potatoes you use, and
exactly how the combination of heat and moisture in the casserole play together.
Whether that result is "different" or "gross" will depend on your personal
taste.

If the rice goes in raw, you might have some trouble, since it takes
so much longer to cook than white rice. If it's pre-cooked or par-cooked
(by you or by Uncle Ben for example), you should be ok.

Yep. That's what happened. Unappetizing looking but probably tasted ok, I
didn't.

I only had raw so I used white rice. To make up the fiber I lost I added
some 'Metamucil' type natural fiber tsp dose drink stuff to it. About 3
tbsp. Bad idea. Make gelatinous <sp?> lumps in casserole. Tasteless but
unappetizing.

So much for fiber experiments.

Ken...for a casserole, always use cooked rice. As for potatoes, I
don't peel white or red potatoes even when making mashed potatoes.
Russets, you'd have to peel though.

Unfortunately I found that out. I used russets. A peel I tried tasted ok
but looked horrible. Live and learn.

Russet potatoes used to be quite acceptable as potato skins in
restaurants. Do they still sell those things? They were very popular
for a while, but I cannot remember the last time I saw them on a menu.

I don't peel, we prefer them that way.

I do, too. My favorite spud is Yukon Gold, but I do love the thick
skin of the russets. I'd hate to peel away what I think is the best
part of the potato.

Why not go all out and include pasta, bread, and corn... potato and
rice caserole has to be the ultimate in TIAD.

Brown rice takes longer to cook that white rice. That will definitely
be a factor. I rarely peel potatoes anymore.

Yes it does! But it's better than rice which has had it's bran layer peeled off! The bran layer is where the vitamins, minerals and flavors are!!

Not a problem.

> What if I substitute brown for the white rice?

Brown rice takes longer to cook, plus needs a bit more liquid to
absorb. I'd either partly cook the brown rice ahead of time, or add a
little bit more liquid to the dish and increase the cooking time. I
find it easier to just partly cook the rice ahead of time, which is
what I do when I substitute wild rice for white rice in a hot dish.
