One of my tomatoes did have a slit in the skin and mostly peeled itself. Good point! Emma, I have heard that about potatoes (and I think there's a youtube video too). Looks fun, but I usually like to keep the skin on... I love potato skin in my creamy stirred (not mashed) potatoes! Debbie, you're so welcome! Please keep an eye out for tomorrow's post too... same tomato pie, but way better pictures. Mmmm. Heather, I didn’t think about doing that on purpose!

It looks absolutely yummy! I love anything with tomatoes or cheese and to combine the two is even better. Now I know what to do this when we end up with more tomatoes than we know what to do with later this summer. Thanks for the link to your tomato pie. It looks absolutely yummy!

Cut a slit all around each potato, boil them and cool in ice water/ Then you can squeeze each half and the skins just pop off! Which is not only fun, but doesn't waste potato by peeling, isn't messy and boring and time consuming. This works with potatoes too!

This works well with peaches, plums, etc. as well. Great tutorial. You can also slit the bottom of the tomato skin before placing in boiling water and they will begin to peel themselves.

Thanks for the lesson - I can use this method when I'm making my spaghetti sauce - no need to buy crushed tomatoes anymore - I can just do this and puree!
