How to peel a potato

I was sent this link as an email forward a long time ago, and I love it. Peeling potatoes for potato salad is always SUCH A PAIN IN THE you-know-what. This works, and it's so easy. Just thought I'd share.

If for some reason the link stops working, here's the directions:

  1. Bring large pot of water to boil. Score the potatoes around the middle and carefully place potatoes in the water and boil until desired doneness is reached (usually about 15 minutes).
  2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, place an even amount of water and ice.
  3. Remove potatoes and place in ice water. When cooled off (about 1 minute), pull ends of the potatoe to remove the peel.
