They had a big old water powered one when I first started in the school kitchens. I was told to "go careful with them " as we hadn't got many potatoes to go around all the kids......no-one told me that the machine didn't stop once they were peeled.........just a few pea sized spuds remaining when I finally stopped the machine!There are potato peeling machines - or an attachment, if you have a Kenwood Chef.
I remember someone having a water powered one years ago, worked quite well - but, best avoided if you have a water meter.
I can thoroughly recommend the Kenwood Chef attachment.There are potato peeling machines - or an attachment, if you have a Kenwood Chef.

Look for the model number - if it's an A7??, then you can try my peeler sometime. At that age, it should be compatible. It might not fit A9??s and later models. And it'll be too short to fit the Chef Major models.
I haven't peeled a potato this century.People peel potatoes? Why? Just throw 'em in the pan and eat them skin and all.
The boot sale is also a good source, if you don't need it now.I've got a Kenwood 7 series from the 1960's - you can pick up attachments for it fairly easily on ebay.
I find there is considerable satisfaction to be had in making tools last. Not only does it save money but the newer stuff is just not built to last any more.It is an A701 a. It is a right manky old thing but I love it.
My mum won it in a raffle when I was a young girl and it was second hand then so I don't know how old it is. It belonged to the school kitchen and they were having a new one so they raffled the old one off.
A few years ago I broke the glass bowl and was gutted. I mamaged to find a plastic replacement on e bay.
It is not like me to be attached to an "old thing" but I have an odd affection for it and use it all the time. I used it today in fact to make a cake.

Right, the proper blue and white one - my attachment will fit that.It is an A701 a. It is a right manky old thing but I love it.

Is that cos Aldi don't have a Natalie working there?Went to Aldi Stafford yesterday,
Lidl is still the best....
*edit - @Carole I know I sound incredibly thick, but how do you make your frozen mashed potatoes? I'm sick to death of throwing away sprouty potatoes because they've been forgotten about when I could of mashed & frozen them?
Went to Aldi Stafford yesterday, nice & clean & airy, but rammed full of zombies who didn't know what they were looking for...
...I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't find some of the usual stuff that we buy in Aldi Stone & overall I think it will be easier to stick to our monthly trip to Stone...

I went to Aldi this morning. I too was wandering around not knowing what I want, but not (necessarily) because I'm a zombie, but because it was my first visit to an Aldi and it is different. Got what I wanted in the end, paid much less than I would a comparable shop elsewhere and I was happy. Sorted.
