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 couldn't understand a thing - was that Canadian?
You can heat them, then rapidly cool them in cold water and the Peel will slip right off.
Might not be the most energy efficient way.
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.
Donβt. That is a thin skinned potato.
Pic isn't mine. First search engine result of a potato with my favorite kind of peeler. I buy the same thin skinned potatoes tho :)
If you can understand the accent, this is the best way to peel potato's,

Boil them with the skin on and use the back of a small knife to easily remove the skin after. This is how we'd make mashed potatoes where I once worked.
I rest one side of the potato on a cutting board and then work my way around it with a peeler (from top to bottom). Afterwards I do the edges separately. Takes about 15-20 seconds per potato.
Man I love potato skin
If I peel potato skins, I usually keep them to make a vegetable stock.
If I need to peel a potato, I go around the flat sides in a single motion and then 3 or 4 peels on each flat side to take the rest off. Mostly just keep the skin on.
If efficiency is the goal, spiral is good. If speed is the goal, rapid cuts are best. If both speed and efficiency are the goal, go mechanized.
I use a weed eater. Aka a string trimmer. It mostly just saws the potatoes in half unless I keep it moving. Thatβs 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 itβs time for another mass peeling.
Iβd let Spot just carve the potatoes himself with a little paring knife but we all know where that goes. π€¨
Down votes? Apparently some do not appreciate your humor. I laughed.
