  • Peeling potatoes is very easy. There is no need to figure out other ways to peel a potato. In fact there is no need to peel them at all.

    You forgot the method where you ask the potato to lay down on the couch and tell about it's childhood, building up trust until the potato opens itself up to you.

      What about asking a potato out for a date assuming she or he depending on what gender your potato has'd not reject you and it'd eventually lead to greater relationship what means potato'd open up to you as well just in more romantic way?

    If you are planning to cook your potatoes one at a time, don't buy them in the five-pound bag. They suffer from separation anxiety and will taste of fear and loneliness. Bag potatoes should always be cooked in groups of 3 or more.

    • @Orynae
      @Orynae Год назад +25

      And the ones left in the bag feel grief for the potato they lost, and grieving potatoes eventually start to sprout gnarly green and pinkish-purple shoots. Those are bitter, and kill the grief-stricken potato slowly and painfully by draining its innards, so you want to avoid that.

  • @xel1673
    @xel1673 Год назад +122

    You can also crack potatoes open like an egg, pouring out the potatoe-y innards for easy separation of the skin shell. But this only works if you get fresh potatoes straight from the potato coop after an adult female potato has laid the baby potato.

  • @Erhannis
    @Erhannis Год назад +281

    I've actually found that the BLUNT side of a knife works surprisingly well for peeling vegetables - you angle the knife TOWARD the direction you're cutting (like the knife is falling forward on its face as it runs forward) and scrape the outer layer off. Primary downside is it tends to mist you with vegetable juice. So, just wait until the heat of summer to peel your vegetables and then it's an upside.

    If you don't like peeling potatoes I have a recipe where they end up like they are cooked in fireplace embers. Wash unpeeled potatoes and leave them in the water. In a bowl mix 3 spoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of sweet paprika and 2 teaspoons of salt. Throw one potato at a time into the bowl so that it coats completely (potato needs to be wet to begin with). Put coated potatoes on a baking tray, into the 200°C oven for at least 40 minutes, up to 60 if taters were on the bigger side.
    Creamy and delicious, serve with butter and salt
