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.

this is the quality dedicated response i'm looking for haha.

I've considered before getting something like the apple peeler, but my girlfriend was like no it's just a gimmick we don't really need it, it will just clutter up the kitchen or get forgotten about in a closet. Guess I know what I want for christmas!

Lol everyone's got their thing! I've wanted an apple peeler for a while too but I don't have much use for it. If you want something smaller and af a lower price point I really think you'd enjoy a channel knife. Once you get good with them you'll be peeling entire potatoes in one shot

I bake with and can a lot apples -- an apple peeler is the fastest way to peel, core, and slice an apple.

It just comes down to having the space and "need" to justify buying one.
