See This Simple Trick To Peel Potatoes Very Easily by lovekhian: 5:26am On Aug 10, 2019 |
Yesterday, I mentioned how potatoes are always very difficult to peel and cut. Especially that sweet potatoes� Well, it doesn't have to be so bad� cos today's #tricktuesday I am going to be giving us a simple but very useful trick on how to peel and cut your potatoes easily, whether Irish potatoes or Sweet potatoes. I have been using this trick for years and it is just a life saver� because before I got to know this trick, I hated cutting potatoes so badly that I would rather not eat than go through that struggle. Now these 5 simple steps are: 1. Wash your potatoes very well to get rid of the dirt and sand 2. Use your knife to cut a thin line horizontally across the potatoes 3. Boil them. When they are ready, drain into a seive. 4. Get a bowl of ice water, and pour the cooked potatoes into it. Leave it for about 3-5mins. 5. Drain them out and the skin would pull out easily from the center where you have slitted it before cooking. Then you can easily cut into your desired shape without stress. Try this out and thank me later�� Don't learn alone, tag a friend Follow me on Instagram @loveinthekichin for more tricks and hacks that will improve your work in the kitchen. 1 Like

what if I want to fry it? |
Re: See This Simple Trick To Peel Potatoes Very Easily by lovekhian: 9:42am On Aug 10, 2019 |
lomprico: I was expecting someone to ask this. Okay so if you want to fry, you might have to peel them raw (use a potato peeler, makes it easier) and they are cutters you can use to cut them easily after peeling. Personally, I don't like stress, so I boil the potatoes halfway, peel them then cut and fry. This is because usually I would always add water to my potatoes while frying them so I just parboil first, no need for me to add water again. Note that this my style works only for sweet potatoes. For Irish potatoes for your French fries, peel and cut the potatoes raw. I hope this helped. |
