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.

"most efficient" depends on what you're maximizing for

Speed?

Effort?

Potato wastage?

Then define the balance. How many seconds of efficiency is worth sacrificing 1 gram of edible potato?

How the heck do you end up peeling off 1g of edible potato?
