It turns out we’ve been peeling potatoes all wrong and there’s a much quicker way

WHETHER you use a potato peeler or a knife, peeling the spuds is a chore.

But it turns out we’ve been doing it all wrong.

Now our kitchen experts come up with a quick and easy way of getting the skin off which will save all those hours standing over a sink.

It also means you lose less of the potato in the process of cooking and maintain more flavour as the skin provides much of the taste.

It couldn’t be simpler.

Wash the potato and cut a thin line around the circumference, without cutting too deep.

After each potato is cut, boil until done.

As you’re cooking them whole, it may take longer to cook them thoroughly.

Once they are cooked, cool them off with cold water.

Now just use your fingers to glide the skin right off.

The whole skin slides off incredible easily and you lose hardly any of the actual potato.

Genius.
