Once done, wash the potatoes and cut them into two parts. Then boil the potatoes until they are soft. Make sure you do not peel the potatoes first when you are going to boil them. Then when they are soft, remove and drain first.

Next, prepare a plate and place a strainer on it in an inverted position. Once done, take one piece of the boiled potato, then press it until it is crushed and comes out of the strainer. At this stage, usually the potato skin will be filtered and separated by itself from the crushed potato flesh. The potato skin that is filtered and stuck to the strainer can be lifted immediately, then throw away the potato skin.
