On Sunday I pinpointed one of my greatest fears. It's definitely not top on the list, but it's probably in my top ten. This fear made Scott laugh, and frankly, I probably would laugh if this was someone else's fear, too. My fear is that I will cut my fingers while peeling potatoes. I want to make it clear that I don't fear peeling potatoes, just cutting my fingers while peeling potatoes. This fear results in my taking four times longer than anyone else to peel potatoes. I can do it fine, but I'm very slow and meticulous with every single peel to make sure my fingers are far out of the way.I just thought I'd share that with everyone. In the future, if I'm at your house and you need me to peel your potatoes, just know what your getting in to.

I cut my finger peeling carrots when I was little and ever since I've been scared too. I think I am more scared when people joke around with knives though. I HATE it!
Me too. I hope i am never drafted and then assigned KP duty. I would never make it past the rank of Private.
What I don't like is grating cheese. Well, really grating anything. For that same reason. Somehow I always manage to grate off a fingernail. I make my kids do it, or recently I bought pre-grated cheese. So much safer!
Why don't they sell pre-peeled potatoes??? That would be NICE!
You know I saw these gloves...

Now peeling potatoes will be a "snap"!!! Good luck!
why don't you just buy the red potatoes. all you have to do is a wash and a quick scrub. keep the skins on, yummmy, tastes good.
Red potatoes don't work for everything. But I agree, that may be a better option. I think grating cheese is more of a danger. But we all have our own fears.
