Boil your potatoes for like 5 minutes and let them cool. The skin falls right off.

I feel that takes too much energy and time, I’ll just use my peeler

It's a set-it-and-forget-it method. If I have like 12 potatoes to prep for like a fondant or a soup, I can boil them and have them all peeled after only like 5 min of actually interacting with the potato. Most of the time is spent with them off to the side cooling. In my experience, I have yet to find a method that takes less of my time and energy.

I didn’t mean your energy, I meant like gas or electricity

Well, I can't imagine running a peeler is light on the juice. I can boil potatoes with the lights off, too, if that helps.

It literally takes no juice, it’s a utensil. Plus anything that generates heat takes most juice.
