In the short clip, the woman explained how she simply scraped a line around the centre of the potato before boiling them no more than a couple millimetres into it.
Once soft, she simply slipped off the skins from the potatoes quick as a flash - no messing around with dodgy peelers.

"This is LIFE-CHANGING," gushed a final TikTok user.
Talking of Crimbo grub, one 'super prepper mum' has already made hers head of time, freezing everything and preparing to simply heat it up on the day.
Claire Gillies, 45, has admitted that for years she has made her Christmas dinner over a month in advance, leaving her very little to do on December 25.
Claire says she does this so that she can spend more time with her loved ones on Christmas morning, instead of endlessly peeling and chopping.
Fair enough, that.
She explained: "It started when my husband and I got our first house, we had a very small kitchen, and I didn't have enough space to cook everything on Christmas Day - then I just realised how much easier it made my life.
"When the children were little, it meant that I wasn't tied to the kitchen - I could be there opening presents with them and we could go for a dog walk on Christmas morning."
Sharing her life hack, Claire created three top tips for anyone wanting to hop on board the prep-a-month-in-advance-train…
- Free up space in your freezer so you have room for your feast - use up everything in the lead-up to the big day
- Label everything because some things might end up looking different once they've been frozen
- Invest in good quality-containers and bags
Will you be adopting this method this year?
