Swede here. Never have I been to a household that does not have a potato peeler. You use it for everything. Potatoes, carrots, apples, pears, sweet potatoes… Sometimes cucumber if you’re making something weird/garnishy. People use knives to peel potatoes‽
I don’t have one, because I haven’t peeled a potato (or carrot) in my adult life.
The skin is nutritious and healthy, and throwing away food unnecessarily is wasteful. If you’re making mashed potatoes, just cut the peel up smaller enough to be texturally inoffensive.
Edit: Also every recipe I know of involving carrots works just fine with the peel on.

I’m fact, just boil the potatoes with the peel, then pinch it off after boiling. Even faster than all other methods. Also keeps nutrients.
