Boiled potatoes are a kitchen staple, but peeling them can be tedious. Here’s how to remove skins effortlessly:
**Method 1: Ice Water Shock**
1. Boil potatoes until tender (15-20 minutes).
2. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water. Let sit for 1 minute.
3. Gently press the skin with your thumb—it should slide off easily.
**Method 2: Pre-Score Technique**
1. Before boiling, use a knife to lightly score a shallow “X” on each potato’s skin.
2. Boil as usual. The scored skin will split open during cooking, making peeling a breeze.
**Method 3: Shake-and-Peel**
1. After boiling, place potatoes in a lidded container with a small amount of cold water.
2. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. The friction loosens the skins.
**Pro Tips**:
- **Best Potatoes for Peeling**: Waxy varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes hold their shape better.
- **Save Skins**: Bake potato skins with cheese and bacon for a crispy snack.
- **Batch Prep**: Peel and freeze boiled potatoes for quick mashed potatoes or soups.
**Science Behind It**: The rapid cooling from ice water contracts the potato flesh, separating it from the skin. Scoring disrupts the skin’s structure, allowing steam to expand and loosen it during cooking.
