Restaurants use huge versions of these, but I don't know how effective this
model would be.

As with peeling apples, there is always a bit of "touch up" peeling to be
done with one of these peelers. Still, it gets most of the skin off if the
potatoes are relative uniform. Unfortunately, apples are generally a lot
more uniformly shapeed than potatoes.
