Dora,

I've used my apple peeler (with the corer/slicer attachment removed) when
prepping for large quantities of potato salad in the past and it does a
pretty decent job. At the worst you are left with a few eyes and a missed
spot or 2 to remove, but the whole process is very fast and easier on the
hands than peeling by hand. I drop it in the dishwasher to clean as well.

Mine is similar to this one (actually it is *exactly* like this, just
without the Pampered Chef moniker)

Works for me....YMMV
