Question 1

Is it better to peel potatoes wet or dry?

Accepted Answer

It is best to peel them when they are dry. You always want to wash your potatoes before you peel them but if you can give them time to dry that is best.

The reason is just so that they are not slippery when you are holding them while peeling them.

If you do not have time to let them dry then use a dish towel to hold them so you have a better grip while peeling.

Is it easier to peel potatoes after boiling?

Peeling potatoes after you boil them is the easiest way to peel them. You want to make sure that they cool off before you peel them so you do not get burnt.
