I used some bleach and baking soda that's the best , if you don't have it now, wait until tomorrow and buy it then, don't worry that happens just try not to do it again.

Sorry but the only home remedies for that include some pulmbing tools and a lot of work. Buy a plunger or drain cleaner. I'm not sure if baking soda can work on uncooked potatoes skins; ok you don't have baking soda, well you got to do some shoping

Empty the trap. I did this myself, & I tried a bunch of different stuff, then a friend went under the sink, took off the trap (the u shaped part under the sink) & emptied it, then put it back on. Took about 5 min. max, start to finish.

,Get under your sink and there will be an elbow (bent) pipe connected to a a pipe coming from your drain and connected to another pipe after it. unscrew both ends and the peel is probably in the elbow clean it out and screw both ends back on and hand tighten.

Drano or NaOH should work. If not you may need to get a snake. (the plumbing device kind)
