We’ve been peeling potatoes wrong, viral hack shows how to do it speedily
Whether it’s roasted, fried or baked, a potato executed correctly can be a thing of beauty.
But getting a potato prepped can be a lot of faff – that is, unless you know about a certain time-saving hack.
A foodie on TikTok has shared a game-changing trick for peeling potatoes that saves a considerable amount of time.
While most people peel a potato one stroke at a time, either towards or away from them, TikToker @jenniabs3 says there’s another, speedier option.
She explains it’s all about making the most of the way a potato peeler functions.
In her TikTok, she says: ‘The reason why potato peelers swivel back and forth is so that you can not only go down but forward when you’re peeling – so that you can peel the entire thing super fast without having to actually lift up the peeler off of the vegetable.’
Essentially, she peels up and then down in a repetitive motion – rather than just doing it one way.
And it’s safe to say the hack has left people speechless.
One person replied: ‘This is why we need cooking classes back in high school! How am I just finding this out at 26?’
While another said: ‘Seriously questioning everything I do in life right now.’

While a chef has revealed how to get crispy and fluffy potatoes every time – without using an oven.
