'Did you know this tip?' Nicole asked in a video.

'If you didn’t, I’m about to blow your mind,' she added.

So, how does this magical potato peeling trick work?

Before boiling your potatoes, make a circular cut around each one. After boiling, while the potatoes are still steaming hot, use your fingers to twist while gently pulling the skin off.

'The skin falls right off!' she exclaimed.

'It’s the most amazing time-saving hack I have found in a long time, and had to share.'

Some of Nicole's followers raised concerns about potential burns from handling freshly boiled potatoes, with one asking: 'Are your fingers made of Teflon? Because that is so much steam.'

Nicole suggested a quick dunk in ice water before peeling to bring the temperature down while keeping that easy-peel effect.

Users who have tried the ingenious method shared praises for the tip, with one saying: 'I just gave it a shot, and it worked like a charm! Thanks!'

'Great idea! I usually peel and cut potatoes into pieces for boiling,' another shared.

Some cooking enthusiasts point out that leaving the skin on provides extra nutrition and involves less work.

'Embrace the skin—it's the healthiest part, and it's less work,' advised one.

Another agreed and said: 'The skin is the best part!'

Whether you peel them or keep them skin-on, here are some useful tips for your next potato dish:

• Start with cold water when boiling. This sets the stage for even cooking.
• Season the boiling water for extra flavour. Consider adding salt and aromatics like a bay leaf.
• Drain potatoes well after boiling to remove excess moisture.
• Mix in flavours like roasted garlic, herbs, or cheese.
• For the creamiest mashed texture, use a ricer or masher and gradually add warm milk and butter for perfect consistency.

Who peels potatoesnot me I eat the bloody lotthe skins good for you also

I don't peel my/our potatoes. We eat the skin as well. I grew up with this, and so did my children. We all prefer to leave the skin on, even when we make chips or mash. Potatoes are very high in carbohydrates. Baked potatoes offer more nutritional value than fries because they still have skin. Potato skins are the most nutrient-dense part of a baked potato.
