- — Molly Weasley makes dinner[src]
This spell (incantation unknown) was a charm used to peel potatoes, and potentially other similar fruits and vegetables such as sprouts.[1][2]
History[]
Molly Weasley used this spell when preparing dinner the night before the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, but was distracted due to being angry at Fred and George Weasley for continuing to produce Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes from under her nose and overdid the spell, launching potato skins with such force that they bounced off the walls.[1]

Behind the scenes[]
- It is possible this spell could also be used to peel objects other than vegetables.
- Whilst observing the Dursley's kitchen, Hestia Jones laughed at the sight of a potato peeler.[3] This suggests that most wizards use this spell a lot for peeling potatoes.
