In this mind-blowing video, which was posted online by YouTuber How To Make Sushi he manages to shed a normal potatoes skin in less than five seconds.

During the clip, the videographer gently makes a cut around the circumference of the potato with a knife, before setting it in a pot to boil.

When it's done, he pops it out on to a chopping board, grabs the potato in the middle and simply slips off both sides of the skin using one easy swipe.

No messing around with a tricky peeling knife or leaving your potato looking like a tiny shadow of itself - we love this trick.
