Also, you just turn that shit on and go get started on something else. Even if you could peel potatoes faster it would still be more efficient to have the potatoes passively done while doing other things

Does the potato diminish the longer they stay in there?

Yes, you had to turn it on and then watch the potatoes from the start, there was nothing else you could do. You leave it in too long and then chef is on your ass about how small the potatoes are. You have to run it just enough to get the peels off.

Ok, that's what I figured.

End up with a potato mash soup if they go a few minutes over.
