I don't boil potatoes, anymore. I bake them and leave the skins on even for potato salad. My DH likes them that way.

I used to manage a family restaraunt and we did something similiar. We put the potatos in a big pan of water (we didn't score them) and put them on the grill to cook. When they were fork ready. we took them off the grill and drained the water off and let them set until they were cool enough to handle. We would use a plastic knife and the skin would just peel right off. We would do about 15 pounds at a time and have them done in no time at all.

I would think it would be raw in the middle and you would have to put it back in that boiling water a little longer. but it is an easy way to peel those potato's. Besides I like the skin too. I fry them and make salad with the skin also.

You can use this trick to peel tomatoes or peaches. You only drop them in boiling water a few seconds and then into ice water. Makes putting them in the freezer much faster.

I haven't tried it yet, but I will! Just when you thought you knew everything about boiling potatoes ...

To all who love making potato salad but hate peeling the boiled potatoes, here is the solution for easy peeling. This will BLOW your mind. Well, we do learn something new every day.

I wish I had known about this thirty years ago. Peeling the cooked potato was the least desirable part in making a potato salad. Enjoy.

I have an OXO potato peeler and don't mind peeling raw potatoes at all, but the boiled ones are a different story.
