What's the most efficient way for peeling potatoes by hand? (sh.itjust.works)

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 use a weed eater. Aka a string trimmer. It mostly just saws the potatoes in half unless I keep it moving. That’s what makes it efficient. The only inefficient part is meticulously placing thousands of potatoes on the floor with their non-peeled side facing up. I use my Spot robot for that, in the second garage. Spot lets me know when it’s time for another mass peeling.

I’d let Spot just carve the potatoes himself with a little paring knife but we all know where that goes. 🤨
