Incredible Potato Peeling Technique

shared by Cori H. whose mom shared it with her
This technique is so easy, it's hard to believe it until you try it.
1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut or score the potato completely around the width of the potato. Do not cut all the way through, just lightly cut the skin so the water can seep in under the skin.
2. Bring a pan of water to a rolling boil.
3. Using a pair of tongs, carefully place each potato in the boiling water.
4. Boil about 15 minutes or until the potatoes test done when pricked with a knife.
5. Put a tray or two of ice cubes in a bowl and add cold water.
6. Using the tongs, place one potato at a time in the ice water. Roll it around for about 10 seconds. With your hands, slide the skin off both ends of the potato.
You will never peel another potato again! (I tried this and it really does work. Patty H.)
