Boil, then peel your potatoes

If you dread the task of peeling potatoes, here's a better way to do it. Simply clean your potatoes then score around the middle of each with a sharp knife. Don't cut too deeply and ensure that the ends of the score meet up. Cook the potatoes in boiling water, then drain and run them under cold water for a few seconds. Now you can gently peel back the skin, which should come away from the flesh very easily.  Alternatively, you can try this highly entertaining but very effective method!
