12 Ways to Peel a Potato

Peeling potatoes is very easy. There is no need to figure out other ways to peel a potato. In fact there is no need to peel them at all.

You forgot the method where you ask the potato to lay down on the couch and tell about it's childhood, building up trust until the potato opens itself up to you.

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

No. We don't hold truck with couch potatoes around here.

What about asking a potato out for a date assuming she or he depending on what gender your potato has'd not reject you and it'd eventually lead to greater relationship what means potato'd open up to you as well just in more romantic way?

[@seymourglass26]

@@sadge6873 Buddy, that takes a long time, and I'm trying to make dinner. Romancing a potato usually takes at least a few nights out, unless you're with something a little less classy like instant mashed potatoes.

[@imnimbusy2885]

Atomic Peeling of the Starchicle has allowed for 90% peeling efficiency in nuclear power-peeling stations. Worries of nuclear fallout from unstable Potato-Peel decay has even reached the White House! Plans to decommission all current and future power-peeling stations are underway! Could this be the tipping point for all Starch Science across the Farmers Field?! Tune in next time to figure out whether your son could be peeling potato’s to send secret encoded messages to commies! (Or having a rouse with Starchsexual perverts such as himself!)

True. I use a (seperate) dish washing Sponge for cleaning (root) veggies as well. People think it's odd, but it's so much more effective, then just rinsing them.

[@adde9506]

If you are planning to cook your potatoes one at a time, don't buy them in the five-pound bag. They suffer from separation anxiety and will taste of fear and loneliness. Bag potatoes should always be cooked in groups of 3 or more.

[@Orynae]

And the ones left in the bag feel grief for the potato they lost, and grieving potatoes eventually start to sprout gnarly green and pinkish-purple shoots. Those are bitter, and kill the grief-stricken potato slowly and painfully by draining its innards, so you want to avoid that.

[@xel1673]

You can also crack potatoes open like an egg, pouring out the potatoe-y innards for easy separation of the skin shell. But this only works if you get fresh potatoes straight from the potato coop after an adult female potato has laid the baby potato.

I've learned a lot about cooking and potato physics. Thanks for the video.

[@Erhannis]

I've actually found that the BLUNT side of a knife works surprisingly well for peeling vegetables - you angle the knife TOWARD the direction you're cutting (like the knife is falling forward on its face as it runs forward) and scrape the outer layer off. Primary downside is it tends to mist you with vegetable juice. So, just wait until the heat of summer to peel your vegetables and then it's an upside.

[@adde9506]

Used to peel steamed potatoes with the back of a paring knife all the time. I had to fight my boss to keep from having that knife sharpened.

[@sshlept8070]

Especially carrots.

You might also consider switching your razor to this video's sponsor, Henson Shaving. Upgrade your potato peeling to aerospace-grade :P

[@Maouww]

Thanks for this video, I was doing it all wrong - I thought doing icebreakers with my potatos would help them come out of their shells - but I see now that they're just thick skinned.

[@KestrelHarper]

I'm having a blast imagining how much fun it was to build that Newton's cradle and even more so when that whole peeling-with-a-drill scheme actually panned out (at least long enough to get the clip that makes you look like a genius).

[@SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

Missed opportunity for potato teams with shirts vs skins. Also, the sharper your pile of knives is, the more likely your potato is to peel in one throw lads! ;D

[@cineblazer]

For sure. I remember being super frustrated when it was taking me two or three throws to get the knife-pile technique to work, but after a quick sharpening and some more practice I finally got the hang of it! Dedication pays off!

[@MellowdyGaming]

I usually make a small hole in the potato after pealing, putting a teaspoon of gunpowder and detonating it from a corner of my kitchen. The potato automatically blows up into french fries ready to be eaten.

[@DerGully]

This is a very advanced and very american way of cooking.

[@-Raylight]

Very _apeeling_ way to peel potato! Thank you! Have you ever be bored at peeling potato normally that you accidentally made a Newton's pendulum? xD

[@isaacm1929]

You can also impale some unpeeled potatos to scare every other potato into peeling itself.

Just bond up with the potato, get to know each other, fall in love. At some point the potato will undress herself. Now you can draw her like one of your french fries.

[@lforlight]

Newton's Cradle requires hard objects of similar if not identical mass to transfer the energy and momentum from one side to the other with minimal losses. So make sure your potatoes aren't baked before doing that, otherwise they'll squish.

[@XEyedN00b]

If you don't like peeling potatoes I have a recipe where they end up like they are cooked in fireplace embers. Wash unpeeled potatoes and leave them in the water. In a bowl mix 3 spoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of sweet paprika and 2 teaspoons of salt. Throw one potato at a time into the bowl so that it coats completely (potato needs to be wet to begin with). Put coated potatoes on a baking tray, into the 200°C oven for at least 40 minutes, up to 60 if taters were on the bigger side. Creamy and delicious, serve with butter and salt

[@Abelhawk]

You can also leave the potato out in the sun until it gets such a bad sunburn its skin peels off.

Spam. well my ex's jordanian mother used to peel potatoes with a huge kitchen knife. Initially, I thought this was horrific, but eventually I realized how much faster it was once you got the knife balanced and practiced enough. When she left from her last month long visit (bitersweet), I joked with my then husband and put a photo of paulie walnuts sipping espresso on the wall of the kitchen to remind me of her. It's extra funny because she's barely as tall as my chest and soft spoken. Unfortunately, this story made it into the comic books of tabloids and became a much misunderstood legend.

You joke about potato physics, but I had a teacher who published a book on statistics using potatoes. Not at all the same thing but this feels like the only time it'll be even semi-relevant.

[@Kagezava]

I don't know, I've used a potato razor more than a knife. Moreover, the cuts removed part of the skin so that they were worse than the pain of a knife. So just take a knife and clean with it, it can be a bit tricky at first and "square" but you get used to it with time. Oh, a little tip, it is more convenient to clean with a small knife, so the hand will be less tired and the grip will be more comfortable.
