How to Peel a Potato With Your Bare Hands

Peeling potatoes takes a lot of time. Special tools can make the task easier, but there are even simpler ways to save time and effort.

5-Minute Crafts is going to tell you how to peel potatoes quickly with your bare hands.

Boil potatoes with the skin still on.

Notes:

If you’re using unwashed potatoes, wash them in advance.
If you’re going to fry the potatoes, stop boiling them earlier, so that just the skin layer is boiled.
If the skin is too thick, make a not-too-deep cut in the middle and cut the skin around the potato.

Put the boiled potatoes in a bowl of ice water for 5-10 seconds, or until they are cool enough to touch.

Take a potato with both hands and rotate your hands in opposite directions around the potato to remove the skin. The potatoes are peeled!

Note: If the potato is still too hot to touch, use gloves or a cloth.
