Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Wash potatoes and score around the center with a sharp knife. Drop the potatoes into the boiling water and let cook for about 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from boiling water and put them into a bowl of ice water, one at a time, for about 10 seconds. Remove from cold water and pull the skins off from both ends.

great idea and it was great seeing Dawn Wells again. Used to watch her all the time. I am so glad she is doing well. Dawn thanks again for the tip.

The link doesn't go to the video, says it's a malformed video ID, but I searched and found it anyhow. What a great tip, I will have to try it when I want to make potato salad.
Editor's Note: Oops, I fixed the link. Thanks for letting us know.
So that you don't cut your fingers when using a potato peeler to peel potatoes, peel the rounded ends of the potato first, while holding the other half of the potato with your hand. Once you're done peeling the ends, peel the rest of the potato.

This is really great! If you take the time to watch this, you will not only be glad you did, but you will forward this to all your friends who do the cooking!
To all who love making potato salad but hate peeling the boiled potatoes, here is the solution for easy peeling. This will blow your mind. Well, we do learn something new every day. I wish I had known about this thirty years ago. Peeling the cooked potato was the least desirable part in making a potato salad. Enjoy!
