Run a sharp knife all the way around the middle of a spud. Boil it, skin on, until it is done--15 min. or so? Plunge the spud into ice water with ice cubes until it is cool enuf to handle with bare hands. Pick it up and with your opposite hands, give it a good firm twist. The peeling is supposed to break at the cut and slide off of both ends.Dera... can't watch video's (darn it)!
Anyone who can explain this procedure better than I can, please do!

Thank's Dera! That is a wonderful tip. I make a lot of potato salad in the summer, and that's a great idea! Hmm... I'm gonna practice first though!

You're right and I agree. However, I don't have them on hand all of the time, so your basic Idaho Russet works OK for potato salad IMO.
