Peeling potatoes like a Master Chef is less about being a culinary genius and more about channeling your inner potato guru.

Step By Step Guide For Peeling Potatoes
In four easy steps!
Step 1
- To peel potatoes like a master chef to accompany your buttermilk fried chicken, start with a sharp paring knife or a vegetable peeler—it’s the only time we’ll encourage a knife fight in the kitchen!
Step 2
- Make sure your potatoes are cleaner than your last cooking disaster, and hold them firmly with one hand like you’re keeping a secret. With the other, glide the knife or peeler around the potato’s surface, but don’t rush; we’re aiming for thin strips of skin, not potato confetti everywhere!
Step 3
- For that professional touch, peel in a spiral from the top down—think of it as giving your potatoes a trendy haircut.
Step 4
Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep a steady hand and enjoy the process, just don’t let the potatoes know you’re having more fun than they are!
