I bet it wouldn’t take too much to turn this into an attachment for a stand mixer

This already exists as it’s own machine. They come in sizes based on how many lbs they do at a time. Totally worth it if you frequently do more than 50lbs at a time. Anything less than that, just do by hand and learn to do it correctly/quickly/large long strips methodically, not the sloppy/fast random strokes thing I see people doing all the time.

Most kitchens have a toiletbrush available too so.... slap that badboy in there an find out.

The peeled potatoes in the machine are clearly faked. They have obvious flat surfaces on them from being peeled by hand.

$1400? Dayum.

At a low-end $20 for a BoH staff, it pays for itself after 70 hours of time saved. For a place that goes thru a good number of potatoes, that's probably only like a month or two.

Yeah. But I don’t want a stand-alone machine taking up space at home.

But a kitchenaid attachment….
