The only time we had a problem with potato peels was the thanksgiving we moved into the house. The whole thing backed up. I pulled the trap apart[*], then proceeded to break the plastic nut where the trap goes into the wall. Since it was Thanksgiving...
Other that that, potato peels, onion skins, and egg shells all go down the disposall. ...sometimes, after an omelette, all together.
[*] The problem *could* have had something to do with the plastic knife found in wedged the trap. ;-)
Hrumph. What a waste. They're excellent cooked in a red sauce and served over palenta.
Beside your body parts did you also dispose your dogs and cats too?
New born kittens go right down the disposal with ease. Be sure to flush with lots of water to get all the fur to go down.
