That would be really useful when I make potato salad. It looks nice and clean. Guess you might need to boil it somemore though. Thanks for sharing.

I'd peel the potatoes as she did and then cut them up and throw them back into the boiling water for my potato salad. Mmmm.

~Certainly interesting and a different way to do something common. But it doesn't take only two seconds. In fact, I don't think it will save time at all. But if you really hate peeling potatoes and like steam in your face and ice water on your hands and more dishes to wash then go for it.
I can casually peel a potato in 20 seconds, btw. ~~Constance

Looks interesting. But I would rather peel the potato instead of going through all those steps.

Blanching, except a heck of a lot longer. The 2 seconds of peeling is actually 20 minutes of boiling and two containers to wash.
Thanks for sharing, though, I never really thought about it working on potatoes.

Seriously?
You mean you're supposed to actually peel potatoes?

I never do, either. It seems wasteful. Time, money, flavor, perfectly good vegetables, all gone. I haven't found many recipes that have benefited from a peeled vs. non-peeled potato. Originally Posted by Spirit Deer

She looks like she's aged almost five whole years since she was on Gilligan's Island.
When we started leaving the peels on when we made mashed potatoes, it was mostly because we were lazy. Now they're "gourmet". Go figure.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
