Can we only peel potatoes with peelers when dealing with them? The Spruce Eats website food writer Rochelle Bilow offers other methods for readers not only saving time but also comforting potential wrist pain.
Bilo shared this peeling technique from the account @thegoochpage on social media Instagram, which is run by the former Ringling Bros. clown, which specializes in sharing various life tips and practical techniques.
{9 9}The following are the tips for peeling potatoes shared by @thegoochpage video:
First place the potatoes vertically, and use scissors to lay the surface of the potatoes around the potatoes. The marks at this time are like a belt around the center of the potatoes. Then put the potatoes in boiling water and cook for a few seconds. There is no need to be completely cooked or set up a meter. Then take out the potatoes with a crust and put them in ice water.
When the potato is cold and can be touched by hand, hold the two ends of the potato with both hands, and pull the marks on both sides to easily remove the potato skin.
Bilo mentioned that although scissors are used in the video to cut marks on the skin of the potato, it can also be treated with a fruit knife. In fact, if there are no scissors used in the kitchen, a fruit knife will be the best choice. The point is that the cut marks should not be too deep. You only need to break the skin of the potato, and you don’t need to cut it into the potato.
Although this method requires water repellent and is not necessarily faster than a general paring knife, Bilo proposes three scenarios that are suitable for this method.
First of all, when cooking in holiday cottages, there is no cutting board in some holiday cottages, let alone a paring knife.
Another, when wrist pain or inflammatory inflammation occurs, this method can avoid unnecessary pain.
Finally, when you have a lot of potatoes to deal with, this method is definitely easier and faster.
Bilo pointed out that macadamia peel is safe to eat, and it is actually a good source of debris and fiber. In addition, if baked at high temperature, or frying or frying, the macadamia peel becomes crisp and delicious.
If the potato peel is removed, it can achieve a denser and smoother texture.
Finally, Bilo reminded that whether you want to peel it or not, you should clean it thoroughly with self-contained water before preparing potato dishes.
