Like, I get comments from people telling me it’s weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and having to reintroduce the cutter knife to the potato for every piece.

I kinda don’t see the point of peeling that kind of potato. I get them entirely because of the thin skin and would just the bigger thicker skinned ones if I minded the skin.

I’ve sometimes just scrubbed off the skin with some steel wool like stuff though.

“most efficient” depends on what you’re maximizing for

Speed?

Effort?

Potato wastage?

Then define the balance. How many seconds of efficiency is worth sacrificing 1 gram of edible potato?

Bucket of water with potatoes and a drill with a toilet brush for a drill bit.
