It is difficult to imagine a situation in which a housewife would be left alone in the kitchen with unpeeled potatoes without a knife or vegetable peeler.
For example, you can start the dishwasher and remember that there are dirty knives inside. No problem, for this case, people have some tricks in store.
Here's what the experts at thekitch portal suggest in this case.
First, you need to put a pot of water on the fire. There should be enough water to cover the potatoes.
We select tubers of the same size (so that they cook evenly), rinse them in running water and put them in a saucepan.
Cook the vegetables for 15-20 minutes. When the potatoes can be easily pierced with a toothpick, they are ready.
Prepare a bowl of very cold water for the tubers. It wouldn't hurt to even throw in some ice.
Drain the water and place the potatoes in a bowl of ice water.
Cool the potatoes for about one minute and remove them from the water.
The temperature changes will cause the potato skins to become soft and pliable.
You can peel potatoes literally with your bare hands and without much effort.
By the way, housewives use this same trick with ice water when they need to peel a lot of jacket potatoes.
The technology is repeated exactly, only before cooking you need to make a transverse cut on each tuber (if, of course, you have a knife at hand).
Once cooled, peeling the potatoes will be very easy: you just need to pull the skin in different directions.
