Okay fine. I'll comment on potato peeling too.

In our house I peel potatoes using a vegetable peeler and my wife peels using a paring knife. In general she is much more proficient with the knife than I am, but I still end up getting more consistent peel removal thickness most of the time! ;) Not to mention the peeler is considerably safer imo. A peeling machine of any kind never even occurred to me.

Same here. My wife uses a knife, and if I want to eat fried potatoes I'll peel with a peeler. Anything else and my youngest peels. Thats how it was for me as a kid, and thats how it is for my kids. Bottom of the totem pole gets the job.

No, I refuse. I hate all hand held potato peelers equally. :-D

This is a frequent topic of debate at our house - that's how lame we are - I am a peeler guy - my wife likes the paring knife so half of each potato ends up in the garbage when she is peeling - drives me nuts. If you don't like peelers, I think its because you haven't tried one of these high quality german ones - I can go faster than her, and we have 30% more food when I am done.

wife has arthritis and MS, so by the time she's done one potato I'll be three or four in so now I'm the official potato peeler, LoL!
 
Breville's food processors actually have peel function for potatoes now. I haven't tried it with mine, I don't eat enough potatoes to need it, but maybe I should at some point :unsure:

Not that i'm overly worried about wasting part of a potato from the peelings I'll admit seeing how much ends up "wasted" when my wife or her side of the family peel with a knife does drive me a little bonkers at times.

I'm in the I use a peeler camp *

make sure everyone has context when you tell them how much you like peelers! ;)

you don't eat mashed potatoes?

Almost never. It's just me at home, and I'm watching my calories to keep reasonably lean (for a 40s guy who works at a desk), so it's at most a few baby potatoes or a single small sweet potato at one sitting. Not worth the effort to mash them normally.

Only time I do is generally when I do Shepherd's Pie, and I usually use Japanese sweet potatoes for them. They just bake with the flesh on and then you can literally pop them out of the skin so there's not much point in peeling them.
If you've never tried them the Satsuma-Imo sweet potatoes are incredibly delicious. They're literally eaten as a snack there 'as-is', just baked and sold.
