Will it peel potatoes?

It has a small (semi-sheathed) blade that peels apples because they are of a uniform shape. I wouldn't even attempt tp peel potatoes in it. They are grittier (dirtier) of various shapes, sizes, and the flesh isn't the same texture as apples. So, no.

I very much doubt it, it won't cut a larger potato unless you cut it in half.

No, on page 2 of the instruction booklet it says, "DO NOT peel or poke holes in the potatoes!"

Works great on potato's too, you have to remove the coring attachment. (not hard to do)

No, it won't just remove the peel it will spiralize the entire apple peel and all. I'd suggest you core the apple first if you want to do that.

Yes, you can peel an apple or potato without it being sliced, however the apple will still have the core intact.

No. Use a coarser grater for a potato. This is very fine and good for tasks like zesting lemon and orange peel, and grating ginger.

Not sure what you mean by "knife". Are you talking about the blade that is in the red plastic compartment and peels the potato? If so, you can remove it by pinching the black plastic tabs together and sliding them forward till the blades inside the red plastic detach from the arm of the peeler.

YES,, You have to lower the blade and adjust it to just touch the side of the apple,,as you turn it just peels and cores all in one!! Works great! Wife got this for Christmas and we used it to peel potatoes and spiral slice some also!!

I've never peeled tomatoes with any peeler. What I do peel with this peeler (carrots, potatoes, cucumbers) is peeled better than with any other.

This will puree foods very finely. It has three levels of mesh. When I make potatoes with it they are very smooth. It will also leave any peel in the container, it won't go through the mesh. Hope that helps!

No, this will not peel your vegetables. It will slice them or just spiral them. Perfect if you want to do sweet potate fries, zuchine, beets... I love mine! Very easy to use and clean.

It has a serrated edge and that's why it works so well on soft things I think. I suppose you could do cooked potatoes with skins on to peal them. I can say I love it for tomatoes !!! skins are too tough for me so I peel them and love them raw that way. I bought several for gifts and they all seem to like it.

Not really. It does apples best. I did try potatoes but it wasn't great at it.

I peel the potatoes before I cook them but when I cook red potatoes I leave a little of the peel and it sometimes goes through-as long as there is not much.

I have this peeler and I can peel potatoes and carrots without killing my hands. I have arthritis in my wrists And have difficulty doing so many kitchen tasks. I hope this information helps you. I always read references before buying a product so hope this information helps you.

I hope this helps. I cannot tell you about a having never used the other peeler. I can tell you I peeled 100 lbs of potato by myself using this machine last March. Was it perfect no. But close enough for me! It peeled everything I put in it. I canned some froze some and dried the rest.Please let me stress By Myself again. I bought 2 more for my canning sisters. I did use it for apples also but it will peel so much more.buy it you won't be sorry.
