Isn't this interesting?

Neat! thanks for sharing.

That's cool. Thanks for sharing.

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.

OMG, it's Mary Ann, Mary Ann, Mary Ann. She looks great and a neat tip too!

What a great idea and fun video!! Mahalo for sharing!!

~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. ~

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

 

[mh3rdwheel]

Wow I will try that the next time I need to peel potatoes.

 

[mndtrp]

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.

 

[Spirit Deer]

Seriously?

You mean you're supposed to actually peel potatoes?

Seriously?

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.

my first thought - was Its maryann too LOL

 

[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.

 

[MomToTwoBoys]

I had to share that on Facebook. That is just the most awesome thing I've seen. I'd never think to score it and boil it. You're just going to boil the potato anyways when you make either potato salad or mashed potatoes.

There's also a lot less hands on time even if it does take longer. If you have other cooking to do it might come in handing. (Although I agree the title is kind of misleading. That took 15 minutes)

 

[Judi Dial]

My thoughts too. Sure wouldn't want to do this mid summer, but in the fall, it might be okay. Also, as said above, I'd only do this if I had a reason to boil water anyway, AND had some overwhelming reason why I couldn't use the skins.

It did occur to me though, are the skins cooked? Could you freeze them and then stuff them later?

Interesting, but I rarely peel potatoes any more - all the nutrients are in the skin! Plus I love that chewy texture...

 

[homemaking]

Might be usefull if you lost your potato pealer but it really isn't only 2 seconds. Plus I hate making more dishes then needed.
