      I know you’re just trying to sound like a smartarse wank but who in the utter fuck doesn’t have a potato peeler?

      Where do you live, Kyrgyzstan? 😂

        I don’t have one, because I haven’t peeled a potato (or carrot) in my adult life.

        The skin is nutritious and healthy, and throwing away food unnecessarily is wasteful. If you’re making mashed potatoes, just cut the peel up smaller enough to be texturally inoffensive.

        Edit: Also every recipe I know of involving carrots works just fine with the peel on.
