Peeling boiled potatoes is a tedious process for many housewives.
Why not check out a trick that will allow you to peel the skin in just a few seconds?
Of course, to do this, you need to choose and prepare the potatoes correctly. But if you do everything correctly, peeling them will be a simple process.
Preparing potatoes
Before you start peeling potatoes, it is important to select and prepare them correctly.
It is important to choose potatoes with smooth and undamaged skins that will easily peel off after cooking. Then they are sent to cook in a saucepan in the usual way.
What is the point of the trick?
When the potatoes are cooked and hot, they need to be carefully transferred from the pan into a cup of cold water.
After this, you need to cover the cup with one hand and begin to actively shake it up and down for several seconds.
With this technique, the peel "peels off" the potato in a matter of seconds. Of course, it may not work the first time, but this technique is definitely worth taking into account to make your life a little easier.
Tips and tricks
There are a few tips to follow:
1) The type of potato matters. Some need to be cooled to room temperature before shaking. But in most cases, hot potatoes need to be transferred to cold water.
2) If the peel doesn’t come off the first time, it’s okay, you can repeat the trick.
3) Do not overcook potatoes, as this may damage them during the peeling process.
It's very easy to use this trick in your kitchen. But it's important to understand that it may not always work the first time.
A little bit of practice certainly doesn't hurt.
