So cool! I wonder if you take all the potatoes at once from the boiling water to the ice bath or have to do them one at a time?

My next door neighbor in Australia is a sweet old man from Ireland who taught me this trick. He came over to my house when I moved in and brought me potato salad (the BEST I HAVE EVER HAD) and a bottle of whiskey to introduce himself. A couple weeks later I invited him over for dinner if he would make the potato salad in front of me so I could see what he did to make it taste so great. This is how he peeled the potatoes.

I have no idea scotti I would guess if you have enough cold water it would work on multiple potato's.

Good idea, if I ever decide to peel potatoes. I usually like to eat the skins on all potatoes except sweet & yams. Thanks for posting!
