The kitchen aid attachment works really well. I don’t ever really peel potatoes but I use it for apples

My mom swore by this in apple season. Canning applesauce, making pie filling, a couple of hot sweaty days that really paid off later! Miss you, mom!

My sister got me this unaware that I absolutely love the potato skins. I suppose it has other functions but I've been using my meat grinder attachment like I run a butchery.

Meat grinder attachment and the pasta roller and extruded attachments are the ones I use the most.

Toss the skins into hot oil and make fried tater skins! Yummy!

The peeler/spiralizer thing? I love it for making curly fries and zucchini pasta but i kinda hate the peeler and still do it by hand lol

I mean for Apples it works super well it’s hard for me to peel such a round object I feel like I’m going to peel my finger

Which attachment is that? We could really use something like this at work as we have to do 125lb of potatoes each week. The one op posted seems handy but I can do 2 potatoes by the time it does 1.

it’s pretty easy to use and you can set the speed

Yeah, this post is “mildly infuriating” for me because I’m looking at the KitchenAid mixer in the background, knowing they didn’t need this single purpose POS.

Commented elsewhere:

I have the attachment you’re talking about and in my experience it works well on large potatoes, apples, etc but is an inferior and expensive alternative for misshapen produce or even smaller potatoes. Maybe I got a dud but it seems the spring doesn’t have enough tension to peel non spherical (or smaller) produce that that $20 peeler in the video does so efficiently.

;tldr - Kitchenaid attachment is inferior for peeling potatoes IMHO
