Peeling potatoes is a process that for many housewives is synonymous with a long and tedious task.

Thanks to the “accessory” designed for cleaning vegetables, this activity is sped up, but only slightly.

And all because you are probably using the vegetable peeler incorrectly.

The thing is, most cooks drag the blade of the peeler across the surface, trying to cut off as much peel as possible at one time.

Instead, try doing the following.

To begin, throw the tubers into the sink and turn on the water (a low pressure is enough) and, placing the potato under the running water, move the vegetable peeler back and forth.

This is the correct way to peel potatoes with a vegetable peeler - you need to move the blade in jerky motions without tearing it from the skin.

If you decide to try this method, as they say, on yourself, rest assured: after a few minutes the pan will be filled with peeled tubers.
