Early on, I learned to peel potatoes like Hell Won't Have It, and may still be a contender in most any kitchen. 

As a new counselor at a Pacific Northwest Scout camp, I was assigned to the lowly 4-man kitchen crew.  Each week, 400 new kids showed up, and for Friday night dinner, Pat the cook served  mashed potatoes.  To do that, he needed three big garbage cans filled with peeled potatoes. You guessed it... we pulled the duty!  

Each week, four of us approached the task with a capitalistic flair.  In two-man teams, we competed to fill one can apiece. The winning team in that race was excused from duty in filling the third can!  Lord, did we ever fly through them taters! 

If memory serves, just staring at the empty third can was incentive enough to keep me on the winning team every time.

The stainless steel potato peeler shown here is made in Sweden, and is identical to the model we used to win against less nimble scouts.  I hope you enjoy speed peeling as much as I did.

Stainless Potato (and veggie) peeler. 6.5" Long. 3" Competition blade.

This tool will work for years without sharpening.
