To crack the shell and remove the nut or to take the brown skin off the nut itself, leaving only the white kernel?

If you are asking how to remove the brown papery skin from already shelled almonds, here's how one chef describes the process:

Quote:
Blanche them by pouring boiling water over them in a pot and setting it aside for three minutes. Drain off the water and slip the skins off by squeezing the almonds between your thumb and fingers. Dry them and then toast them in an oven at 325 °F (165 °C) for about 10 minutes.
