Seems like a misguided effort. Potatoes are a
low-value crop. Waste some potato and nobody cares.

What makes more sense is a peeler for a high-value
crop. One in which losses of recoverable flesh
are very much to be avoided. And, a crop which
is difficult to peel, thus calling upon whatever
design talent you have.

That device is, of course, the pineapple peeler.
