A boat skipper I knew years ago used to trail a sack of spuds on a line behind his fishing boat: 20 mins and they were pristine and ready for the pot  (no salt needed either) ;D

Intrigued by your post - do you really mean water-powered? I assume you've got a supply of moving water then? Surely if you've got this, it's a small step to convert the water power to elecrtic power? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick completely?  :)

Do you mean one of those potato peelers that you fitted to the tap and the inside was like sandpaper and it peeled the potatoes?  My Mum had one when I was little but sadly I have no idea where it is now, was very useful! :)

i remember when i was little my mom had a spud peeler ...you had to add water in the bottom put your spuds in the top half that had rough sandpaper type edges and turn the handle with all your might!!!!....it had suckers at the bottom but if your turned the handle too much they'd come off
