That's true for some potatoes, but the ones I use for mashed potatoes often have a thick skin that doesn't taste so nice and gets stuck in your teeth.

I'm in this camp. Haven't peeled a potato in years.

Are you also one of the anons in the store bought, crushed garlic thread saying it's worth spending 5 times more because mincing garlic is too much work?

Pealing a pound of potatoes takes 2 extra minutes. Man up, and maybe practice a little more. It you think peeling potatoes is too much work you shouldn't be in the kitchen.

Stop buying such shitty potatoes.
I just got an 8 pound bag for 99 cents, and as expected, they are thick skinned, gnarly, misshapen, black spots, and range from tiny to huge sizes. Potatoes of this "B" grade or whatever they're called MUST be peeled, even skin lovers would reject them. The problem with using crap potatoes is the peeling process is also more difficult, especially with the large ones with concave inside turns. No mechanized gadget will do a good job on these either, you need a peeler and a knife. Long story short, if you pay more for the potatoes you'll get more consistent size and shape, with thinner, well scrubbed skins. The bargain bin spuds require some labor to clean up... no real way around this.

Quit buying cheap big brown scaley russets. Switch to gold or red potatoes.

If im making good mashed potatoes I'll use some quality Yukon golds like in OPs pic and after I boil them the skin is more than soft enough to just mash into the potatoes
And I've found the skins really help retain a quality potato flavor and keeps the mashed potatoes tasting truly potatoey which I really like
But if the potatoes are sub par you have to peel them
Also never whip your mashed potatoes and never mix them
They're called mashed potatoes
Not whipped or mixed
Get 2 hand mashers 1 for the big potatoes and another one that's finer once you get the taters broken down

Embrace the lazy; don't even bother washing them, let alone peeling them.

When gold potatoes exist, I don't know why anyone would ever buy russets again in 2015.

Even with one of these things? Takes like twenty seconds a potato.

>I make mashed potatoes quite often

then just eat the peels you keklord. what kind of faggot takes off the peels for mash

use red potatoes? boil > strain >ad to other ingredients > mash that shit

You have trouble peeling potatoes? Lol

I just waste a ton and cut them into big rectangles. Screw the peeling. They are cheap enough to allow waste. Cut them in a rectangle. Chop each end off, then all 4 sides into a rectangle. No skin. Then dice to size for cooking whatever. Yes I'm lazy but also cut my thumb too many times trying to peel the stupid things. If they are red skinned though I just leave the skin on.

Potatoes are cheap as water, though. I just take a knife and chop the sides of. Takes about 3-5 second per fruit.
