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.
Same for peeling apples. One long continuous peel is so satisfying.
I have an apple peeler/slicer/corer that does that. I use it to quickly peel and slice apples in bulk for apple pie.
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.
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.
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.
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.
