Living alone, I have learned to make big meals and freeze portions for later. So, I peel potatoes maybe once a week or maybe twice a month. Menus include, large pot roasts, large beef stews, chicken and noodles, pot pies and meat loaf w baked potatoes. All of these adapt to creating "TV" dinners for later. I don't mind peeling potatoes since its not very often. And, I have the box variety for when I really want mashed potatoes in a hurry.
