Cool/Easy way of peeling a potato

[a597981]

The whole point of this is when making dishes that require boiled, skinless potatoes. Croquettes and potato salads were examples the video used. You just cut around the circumference of the potato 1mm and boil like normal. Once it's cooked you throw it in an ice bath for 10 seconds and pull the skin apart at the cut. Apparently it remains hot from the heat still within the potato so it's still easy to mash afterwards.

that nigger just peeled the shit out that potato

[baneblade808]

heh, americans

[MsSunhappy]

incredible, man! i could use it for a magic trick. behold, the incredible potato peeler!

[jhlbjaaa]

Just eat it with the skin.

[Verendus0]

This makes perfect sense if your meal consists of more than just potato, which it really should. You just cut around all your potatoes, stick them all in a pot to boil, do all your other shit, and then move the potatoes from the pot to the ice water, after which you can peel like you're the most efficient motherfucker who ever fucked a mother.

[yarow122]

All that I got from this was to soak the potato in cold, icy water for 10 seconds. Is that all?

[Sodylin]

@yarow122 Cut a thin slit around the potato, boil, THEN place the potato in ice water for 10 seconds.

[MymemoryisRAM]

Cracked, no.... of course not.... I was just looking at videos on how to peel a potato...

[SaishyDragos]

Guys... This is to peel very large amounts of potato.

If you are peeling only 1 it's stupid, if you wanna peel 10... 20... 100 then it's a issue.

[Nexismyname]

ITS SPELLED PEELING GODDAMN

[siegvash]

It's effective if you have to do a lot of other things

[1NaviKing1]

All it's missing is big breasted, big eyed cartoon characters and it could be anime.

[kimshuler]

I love the sound effects of the potato coming out of the peel that they added. xD

[Fangalatic]

Too much hassle... there are much easier/faster ways...

[CasusUniversum]

Ok, to the lady in the beginning picking off microscopic chunks with her finger tips. EVER HEARD OF A FUCKING PEELER!?

[Alzorthegreat]

Congratulations. Now you have a cold potato!

[crossfyer]

@Alzorthegreat that is not how heat dispersion works.

[BiggsDarkstar]

It takes more time, but less effort. I can just put them in water, walk away and go do something else, walk back and it's ready to go. I hate pealing potatoes. And yes, I'm a lazy bastard, and I know it. I work smarter not harder :-P

[FFXIWarriorqueen1]

That wasn't 10 seconds....they don't know how to count.

[CFkimahri]

MY HEAD IS FULL OF FUCK!

[Sapperbounded]

This is probably only good for peeling in bulk, but still pretty awesome.

[NG14916]

I guess this would be better if you wanted to peel 100 potatoes or something.

[Kibate]

for me peeling normally a potato takes way too much time. And then you have to cook them too! However this pretty much erases most of the times needed for the peeling. Create trick!!! I hope just that the potatos don't cool off too much in the ice water

[alen132465]

i think its considered faster cuz u can technically cook AND peel in pretty much the same step opposed to peeling 10 potatoes (~30min) and the cooking (~10min) =40min total. Doing it all at once would just be 10min

[LoganRE033]

@alen132465 Wait. Wait. WAIT. It takes you 3 minutes to peel a single potato? Damn dude. That is pathetic.

[amy1827]

first of all, who the hell peels potatoes with their fingers? this guy's picking at it like he's popping zits

[crossfyer]

@amy1827 They were removing the eyes...

[uttershock]

Great idea!! Thanx....too bad the the republican war machine is still at work on some stupid americans. Racist, hate crime, teenage junkies.

[Vigrica]

What an excellent tip!!! For those making stupid comments - you have no idea how to make a potato salad and how much work does it take to peel them. And no you don't leave the skin on, it would be nasty. Learn how to cook first and than criticize…

[naerials]

with this method, there isn't as much waste and it's easier to handle

i don't think it's a bad idea at all

[yvoe9]

guys who cares if you could just peeled it THEY MAKE ROBOTS FOR THAT

[Dorisequador]

good idea i hate peeling potato's so cook them then slap em in ice water and pull them off eh. Thank you a very much.

[krgd2007]

wow

[jalbroven91]

I love japanese people

[leifey]

I generally just eat the skins. They're still good.

[JoLeKo1075]

OMG LOL

[riffz0r]

What did she say?

[xchangliix]

@riffz0r

She is saying that he/she is a totaly faggot and is a result of an incest afair...

Cuz all japanes ppl make incest ;)

[riffz0r]

@xchangliix Oh thanks! Gute nacht!

[xchangliix]

@riffz0r nach :=)

[kevpedx]

lol it takes me like 5 mins to peel one normally

[Xzgamertag]

LOL

[mindgame22]

it would take less time just to peal it lol

[chickengifts]

omg what a weird video but the technique is great

asian people are strange!

[lXsakuraXkissXl]

Strange in a good way or bad? (is asian) -waits-

[carolinepramono]

woww!! Gotta try this one.... peeling potatoes in traditional way does take time!!!!

[nicexe]

cool trick!

[silverponylover999]

i whish i could understand what they were saying but this is cool got to try it

[Moraleg1]

what type of potato was that? would any type of potato do that?

[spittyfire3]

the time it takes to do this I could have already peeled a whole sack of the damn things.

[itsumonihon]

it's not bloody likely. this method is called blanching. it's normally done with tomatoes but works for any vege or fruit with a tough skin. all you do is cut around the vegetable and shock it in boiling water for a few seconds then ice it down. the skin falls right off. you could do a bag 12 potatoes in seconds using this method, and there would be no clean up afterwards.

[drushtvo]

YOU DOUBT MY POTATO PEELING SKILLZ!!!!!

Seriously, how long do you have to leave it in there? I can really peel a potato fast. Wanna Race?

[mellydamus]

she counted 10 seconds?

[robertlewisvazquez]

I reall doubt that, sorry

[nexlun]

@spittyfire3 what if you did the same thing to 50 potatoes and put them all in ice water

[mynameisbecka]

LOLz

[prochefken]

Thanks for the tip !!

[SteveANTMlvr]

ALWAYS trust the Japanese.

[gradelover924]

Yup yup. I wonder why most of us Americans haven't figured this out... we eat the most fries, don't we?

[wargunnerguy]

no, how can you think that??? i eat the most fries and i don't get enough xD

[qazwsxedcvfr123]

EXCATLY

[qazwsxedcvfr123]

THATS RIGHT ALWAYS

[zephroth]

the boiling of the potato and then the freezing cold breaks the skin from the inner part of the potato real simple stuff. i use the same thing with baked potato soup.

[stink4]

it is true. except my bro taught me to do it cut it in half not through. boil then place in cold water..

[whirlpool33]

ummm....cool...i guess

[neo8756]

cool but looks kinda fake could be wrong tho =-]
