The first way to peel a potato is pretty classic:
第一种削土豆的方法相当经典:
using a potato peeler where you drag the peeler across the potato's face.
使用土豆削皮刀,将削皮器在土豆表面拖动。
And feel free to add shaving cream if you think that will work better.
如果你认为加点剃须膏效果更好,也可以加。
Then just rinse that off and it's ready to eat.
然后只需把剃须膏冲洗干净,土豆就可以吃了。
If you don't have a peeler, you can use a spoon and just scrape it.
如果你没有削皮刀,可以使用勺子,用勺子刮掉皮。
You can also use a knife, although it's a bit more dangerous and you might not end up with quite as much potato depending on your technique.
你也可以用刀,尽管有点危险,可能最后削完皮土豆已经不剩多少了,具体要看你的技术怎么样。
Now we'll heat up some water until it starts producing bubbles.
还可以加热一些水,把水煮到开始冒泡。
We'll score our potato around the middle then add it to the water.
在土豆中间横切一圈,然后把它放进水里。
And we'll cook that until it's fork-tender.
然后一直煮,直到叉子可以戳进土豆。
We'll let that cool off and whoops...
然后让土豆冷却,然后哎呀......
Then you can easily pull that peel off; then form it back into the shape of a potato.
然后你可以很容易地把皮剥掉;并把土豆泥重新捏成土豆形状。
Now of course you can smash the potato against the wall.
当然,你可以把土豆往墙上砸。
And you can also throw it on a pile of knives.
你也可以把土豆往一堆刀上砸。
But you can also simply bang your potato around the edges for a couple minutes to really loosen up the exterior membrane.
但是你也可以直接把土豆在桌角敲几分钟,让外部的土豆膜变松。
And once it starts to get a little warm, grab it tightly and twist.
然后,等土豆有点变热了,就紧紧抓住它并扭一下。
If your banging was even enough, you should end up with a pretty thin potato skin, which you can then fill with potatoes.
如果你敲得很均匀,那么你应该可以扭下来一个很薄的土豆皮,然后你可以在里面装满土豆。
You can also get your potatoes spinning with your drill; then hold your peeler on the side.
你也可以用电钻让土豆旋转;然后把削皮器放在一边。
Although sometimes it's easier to tape your peeler to the drill and just take advantage of that really nice extra strong grip.
虽然有时候更容易的做法是把削皮器用胶带粘在钻头上,利用这个很强的额外握力来削皮。
The next method is to accept the potato as it is and not peel it because potato skins are good to eat.
下一种方法是接受土豆的本来面目,不要削皮,因为土豆皮很好吃。
But one of the easier methods is to sneak into a potato nudist colony and steal a potato while it's relaxing.
但是一个更简单的方法是潜入裸体土豆聚居地,趁土豆放松的时候偷走一个。
The next method is to say something passive, aggressive like:
下一个方法是对土豆说一些消极、激将法的话,比如:
you couldn't peel yourself if you tried.
你就算试图把自己的皮剥掉,你也做不到。
And if you've got a lot of time on your hands, you can build a Newton's Cradle.
如果你有很多时间,你也可以制作一个土豆牛顿摆。
And this isn't so much a method of peeling potatoes as it is a method for exploring potato physics, which is an area we still have so much to learn.
这与其说这是一种削土豆的方法,不如说是一种探索土豆物理学的方法,这个领域仍有待我们探索。
