Peeling potatoes is a necessary step for creating many delicious dishes. Using an electric potato peeler can greatly cut down on the amount of time needed to prepare potatoes. An electric potato peeler uses a grit covered plate to peel the skin off potatoes. The grit plate is a metal plate covered with a sandpaper like resin. If you begin to notice a lag in the amount of time it takes your machine to peel potatoes, it may be time to regrit the plate. In most cases, this takes just a few steps.
