Is there a right/ wrong way to peel a potato?

Question

Obviously using a veg peeler. But is there a certain "way" ??????

Answer 1

Any way you can get the peeling off is the right way.  I pull it towards me...and others I see shuck it away from them.  It is all on what is easier for you!

Answer 2

no there is no certain way to peel potato,i guess!!

as long as u know how to hold the peeler and peel, that is the only thing u d need

Answer 3

Not really, but skinning from bottom, to top works easiest, than flip it around, and peel the excess works best.

Answer 4

What do you mean by that? It depends on the peeler or if you are using a knife, but also on what you want. I usually never ever peel my potatoes. To me it's a waste of time and I dislike doing it. I cook, bake, or whatever them in their skin. If I prepare something that needs the skin off I take it off after and I do that with a knife and my fingers,quite fast since they are already cooked and it just pulls off. Healthier too.

Answer 5

In Culinary Arts and ETC they teach you to peel from the outside to the inside - this is for safety. Boring. (I think it gives them something to grade, hahahaha )

MOST people peel from inside to outside - and SO FAR I have not heard of anyone getting hurt, LOL

SO - there is no right or wrong way  (unless you are in culinary arts classes)

Answer 6

NO! :) you can just use a VEGGI. peeler but now i see they make POTATO peelers. what i do if im using a knife. i CUT both ENDS of the potato and put one cut bottom the potato on the cutting board and i just run the knife down the potato. :)

hope i helped! (:

GOOD LUCK! :D
