Peel a Potato Super Fast With This Great Hack
Peeling potatoes is the lowest of kitchen drudgery. It’s time consuming, dull and has absolutely no star chef sex appeal. It’s just something you do.
Now it’s something that can be done a lot faster and with a little bit of pizzazz thanks to this cool hack from DaveHax.com. Here’s what to do.
First, boil a pot of water and pile your clean potatoes on a cutting board. Take a sharp knife and score the skin around the middle of each potato (don’t cut too deeply), making sure both ends of the score connect. Put the potatoes in a medium-size pot, cover them with boiling water from the kettle, and cook until they’re done, usually about 20 minutes.
Drain the water into another pot (use this water for reheating the potatoes) and keep the potatoes in the first pot. Run the potatoes under cold water for a few seconds. Take a potato in both hands and gently pull or peel the skin off. It works like magic and even adds a little sex appeal to a lowly task.
