Hold the potato (with a fork if you want) under a cold water tap and scrub away. They work just fine on most tubers, although the newer the potato the easier it is. The $19.95 price of those gloves is ridiculous. I’ve been scrubbing potatoes for years with those green square pot-scrubbers that you can buy by the pack.

The eyes of countless spuds heaped high
Their leathered skin so soiled and cold
As evening feasttime e’r grows nigh.

All hope is lost, the hungry crowd
With grumbling stomachs surly sit
The trembling chef, no longer proud,
From cavern’d drawer the dreaded mit.

She gazes at the grizzled mit,
With roughened palms, a ghastly green,
Now grasps the soiled spud which sits
With icy eyes and waxy sheen.

She rubs, she rubs, in frenzied rush
As feebled hope springs forth to wit
The shredded skin reveals the flesh,
All hail the glorious Tater Mit!

My experience has only been with one type of potato, I supposed some other types (red etc) might work like the commercial.

I wonder if my mother would find them useful. They do make lots of tools, like peelers, with nice fat handles these days. Which is nice. What always bugs me is when they show an incompetent person peeling "half the potato away". Ugh! I usually use a peeler but I can handle peeling *anything* with a paring knife! All it takes is practice. And in the end... mashed potatoes, potato salad or fried potatoes... you scrub them good with a brush and *leave the skins*.

It was boring, but it was quality time with my mother. We talked about everything. This is one of my best memories. To this day, there i something satisfying about the repititious work.
