Unfortunately, there *are* recipes where peel is not wanted,
IMHO. If you are into mashed potatoes and don't want the skins,
boiled potatoes are much easier to peel than raw. I use an
old-fashioned hand peeler for both boiled and raw but I'll admit
that I eat them unpeeled quite often and I like them baked in
their skins. I also use baked potatoes to make mashed when I
have the time. I think the flavor is much improved over boiled.
