Peel a hot potato without a knife

Peeling potatoes when they're hot is a lot easier than when they're raw, but the problem is that you burn your hands in the process! Not to mention the annoying bits of skin that  keep getting stuck to your fingers.

So next time you have to peel hot potatoes, plunge them into an ice-bath as soon as they're done cooking. This will cool the skin of the potatoes, enabling you to pull if off using just your fingers in no time!
