I just received this tip from a friend who sent me the youtube website. It is a real time-saver for peeling potatoes, especially for potato salad.
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Wash potatoes and score around the center with a sharp knife. Drop the potatoes into the boiling water and let cook for about 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from boiling water and put them into a bowl of ice water, one at a time, for about 10 seconds. Remove from cold water and pull the skins off from both ends.

This is a page about peeling potatoes. Although many varieties of potatoes can be eaten with the peel on, many cooks prefer to peel them.

The link doesn't go to the video, says it's a malformed video ID, but I searched and found it anyhow. What a great tip, I will have to try it when I want to make potato salad.
Editor's Note: Oops, I fixed the link. Thanks for letting us know.
great idea and it was great seeing Dawn Wells again. Used to watch her all the time. I am so glad she is doing well. Dawn thanks again for the tip.
