How to Peel Potatoes Quickly

Step 1:

Start by grabbing a sharp knife and carefully run the blade in the middle of the potato. Just run the blade through the skin, not too deep into the potato. Try getting the line to meet up with the other side. Repeat with the other potatoes you want to boil.

Step 2:

Put them all in a pot and place in a stove. Fill it with boiling water from your kettle and leave the potatoes to cook.

Step 3:

When they are ready, drain the water into another pan and keep the potatoes in the first one. Run the potatoes under some cold water for a few seconds until cool enough to touch.

Step 4:

Using your fingers, gently pull the skin off.
