All you need is a power drill, a bucket, a hose, and a toilet brush.
Here's an
article and a video that illustrates the technique.
Acquisition of a new toilet brush for the task is recommended.

Nice time saver for large family dinners. Be careful with that electricity and water out there!

Good point.
A GFCI outlet or an extension cord with that feature (or a cordless drill) provide the safe way to do this.

On buying a new brush.
Good idea about the cordless drill.
Peeling potatoes is a boring job, but this looks like a good way if you have to peel a whole bucket.

After being on the potato peeling detail in jump school where we peeled, eyed, and quartered up to 1,000 pounds of spuds a day. I just don't peel 'em any more till they are boiled or baked.
It's an interesting concept.
Yes, a GFCI protected receptacle (outlet for the non-electricians) or a cordless drill will keep you alive.

The skin is the best part of the potato.

Just cut them up, add bacon, onion, and fry them up in a black iron skillet.

Yup. I saw this on FB and asked why would anyone want to peel a potato. A few got it, but several didn't.

It may, and this application isn't particularly dangerous, but I wouldn't bet my life on a GFCI. When there is a significant danger of electrocution power should be disabled rather than relying on a GFCI not to malfunction.
