I just made an interesting observations and I want to see if others agree. when I boil potatoes and start peeling off the skin I’ve had more success pulling a potato peel away from the potato if I do it on the width of the potato. The grain of the skin seems to peel more successfully by pulling off long sections of skin at the same time. But when I peel along the length of the potato the skin does not peel off at the same degree. This may be obvious to some but this is just a discovery I made today. What are your observations?
