How to Do Away With Those Pesky Potato Skins
With just a pair of tongs, boiling water, ice water and a knife, you can get rid of the potato skins epidemic. Score them raw around their equator, place them in the pot with boiling water and let them simmer for fifteen minutes.
Remove them using the tongs and put them straight in an ice water bowl. Once cool, slide the peels off (start from the center).
