Saturday, I decided to make mashed potatoes AND to try this new-to-me technique of peeling potatoes to see if it would work.
It did! Although not as easily and flawlessly as it worked for Mary Ann, it spared me any sliced fingernails and saved on the actual peeling time. I think it is worthy of using again. What do you think?
Update: I do not recommend this method for thin skinned potatoes!
Well I'm certainly going to be trying this one! I just have two questions: 1., How much does that ice water cool your potato, and 2., were you able to hit the enthusiasm and pep levels that Mary Ann bubbled at? Oh, and bonus: We already have that super-ugly potato puppet guy. I kid you not.
ReplyDeleteThe ice water cooled the outer layer of the potatoes but the inside was still warm when I halved them. And, no, I didn't reach the enthusiasm levels of Mary Ann.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Don't peel your puppet.
