Jax I just do new ones or I do Uncle Ben's microwaveable rice (2 mins!). Pasta is fraught with being al dente enough to break teeth and in a nano second total squidge bleugh.
Z you are always my culinary inspiration but when you show off like your last post!
I peel 'em. I like them mashed with lots of butter, heavy cream and cream cheese in them. The peels are a downer for me. But i'm a capricorn. We can't help ourselves. I think.
Chris - I've seen the chopper now - what a beauty!
Dave - I'm worried that you might not make it! Listen (seriously) please don't feel obliged to set about making stables if you're still feeling so tired - kein problem.
Di - still not over it :((. However your problems will be greater shortly - First-Born headed your way!
Roses - moi too - life's definitely too short. Washing them is almost a step too far.
Joy - I like them like that as well, but only if someone else does them!
Z girl, come to Southern CA and I will make you the most horribly fattening and unhealthy smashed potatoes ever. Plus I will make you the ever popular "heart attack vegetables". I can render any healthy item totally worthless and heart endangering! but yummy!

Well dang. You tell us this just as I was about to send you an ergonomic potato peeler made of papier maché. I'll know another time.
(did you send that from your new toy?!)
some ideas:
M&S and Waitrose sell them ready peeled. . .
get someone else to peel them for you. . .
serve baked potatoes. . .
serve spaghetti instead. . .
as my sweet Vicus would say, I hope that helps
We mostly have baked or new potatoes, neither of which need peeling. You, your grandma and I evidently have a lot in common.
Without the peel you lose the de terreness, the essence of pomme, if you like.
I always peel apples though.
Christopher is it a thing of beauty?

Mig peel apples???? WHY?!
Yes of great beauty but it got left out in the rain by mistake.
I can confirm that I never saw a potato (peeled or otherwise) in the time I was there last week.
I trust there will be chips when I return.
Get the iPhone potato peeling App! It runs on microchips.
Chelsea? CHELSEA????? I was counting on your lot, Zig. ;-(
(Only time I peel spuds is if I want the sprouting eyes to plant.)
I don't peel spuds.
a) I'm lazy
b) not enough fibre in my diet and most of the spuds nutrients are just under the skin.
and
c) I'm lazy.

Self-motivating is my main problem. A spot of something constructive may be good therapy.
And some chips.
