Peeling potatoes is one of the most disliked chores i need to do at home. It takes a lot of time, especially when I peel small potatoes. I needed to make this process faster and easier.

Project is very, very simple, but it does the job.

Supplies

Bucket with lid

Sandpaper - I used 40 grit, but i think 80 grit is better

Hot glue

Threaded rod with 2 nuts and 2 pads

Bearing (inner diameter same size as threaded rod)

Drill

Cut out a circle in the lid with a diameter slightly smaller than the bottom diameter of the bucket.

Using hot glue, adhere sandpaper to the walls of the bucket and to the cut-out circle. Also, glue the bearing in the center of the bucket bottom.

I additionally secured the sandpaper to the disc using staples.

Tighten the cut sandpaper disc very securely onto the threaded rod.

And thats all. Pour some water into the bucket, add potatoes, attach the drill, and start peeling.
