Use Boiling Water and Ice Water to Peel Potatoes Quicker Than Ever

Let's be honest; grandmas are the best at peeling potatoes. It seems as though they can do this house chore in record time, and they don't seem to fiddle around with potato peelers or other kinds of kitchen contraptions. So, how do they do it? Well, they follow the grandma hack of using boiling water and ice water, of course. To do this, you should first boil your potatoes with the skins on.

When they're ready, take them out of the boiling water and let them sit for 15 seconds in a bowl of ice water. When you pick them up again, the skins should just fall off.
