Looks like:

(1) remove eyes, and with knife, slit potato skin around the middle before
boiling
(2) plunge boiled potato in ice water (they use a ladle, but a slotted spoon
would probably transfer less hot water into the ice water)
(3) after sitting ??? time in ice water (don't speak Japanese... 30
seconds?) take it out and pull skin off both ends.
