Advice of the Day: Peeling Potatoes

Advice of the Day Peeling Potatoes

Speed up peeling potatoes by throwing them into a running lawnmower and collecting whatever comes out.

the sage

Peeling potatoes can be slow, repetitive, and dangerously close to being a chore. The Wise Sage recommends embracing modern machinery and a complete disregard for proportionate solutions.

Simply place your potatoes carefully in the path of a running lawnmower and allow nature — and several thousand spinning revolutions — to do the work for you. In moments, you will have a fine selection of partially peeled, fully peeled, and completely reimagined potato fragments.

For best results, stand well back and adopt a thoughtful stance, as though conducting an experiment. This gives the process an air of scientific legitimacy and distracts from the fact that you are essentially launching vegetables into a blade system.

If you do not own a lawnmower, a hedge trimmer, power drill, or particularly aggressive cheese grater can offer similar results, though with varying degrees of potato survival.

As always, The Sage accepts no responsibility for missing potatoes, startled neighbours, or explaining any of this to a medical professional.
