Well, I cooked them first, but I can see a case for peeling before 
cooking--when they come out of the water, they're hot, they're slippery, and 
they're not fun to handle. Next time, I will probably peel them before 
cooking, but I'll slice them afterwards. I just need to learn to be slightly 
less impatient..
