Just realized I wasted 4 hours peeling 6 pounds of potatoes with a spoon last Thanksgiving
I saw some video saying a spoon was faster than a peeler for mashed potatoes, so I tried it on 6 pounds at my mom's house in Allentown last November. It took me almost 4 hours and my hands were cramped for two days, and half the potatoes had brown spots where the spoon dug too deep. My aunt walked in, grabbed a $3 peeler from the drawer, and finished the rest in about 20 minutes. If you see that spoon trick online, skip it. What is the worst hack you tried because a video made it look easy?
