What's the most efficient way for peeling potatoes by hand? - eviltoast

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.

    We have one of those. It’s called “Sparschäler” over here in Germany. I have no idea how to translate it but maybe “a thing that peels and saves as much of the veggie in the process” or savingspeeler?? Whatever, my point is: those little teeth are something else! I got them stuck in the skin of my fingers/hand so often, I got another one without the teeth. The one without teeth isn’t as effective (especially when I peel carrots) and cuts more off the vegetables I peel. Feels smoother, though!
