The industrial way. back in the day, my mate was the son of a chippy, he had the Saturday job of peeling spuds and rehydrating the dry cod. The fish were thrown in an old enamel bathtub of water to soak and the spuds dumped from a jute sack into a rotating drum lined with coarse carborundum and washed down with water. The spuds were actually sanded down. All the peel and fish drains (along with most houses toilet waste) went into the smelly tidal creek at the back of the garden. That was how a chippy did it in those days, but how were the pickled eggs and onions done? in spite of his garden shed factory, he was the best chippy in town (the only one too).

There was a similar - in principle - attachment you could get for a Kenwood Chef, back in the 1970s. Effectively a platen of carborundum or the like.

We never peel potatoes, that's all the ruffage gone, even in mash leave the skins on, add s another dimension IMHO, I think my daughter would freak if we gave her boiled peeled potatoes.
I used to go to a chippy when I worked in the Black Country (in the West Midlands) and they not only didn't peel the spuds they also cooked them in beef dripping. You had to eat them there an then, if the beef fat cooled e.g on the journey home, they were inedible.

Ma had one, used it once, the spuds came out as big as peas.
