- Blanch the taro with saltwater: Add the taro and water (enough water to cover the taro) and then add 2 tablespoons of salt. Place on the stove and boil over high heat until the water starts to boil, then drain the taro and rinse it with cold water to cool it down before peeling.
- Keep your hands and the taro dry before peeling, do not wash the taro before peeling.
