As was suggested, scrubbing is probably the only way to remove the outer layers of a potato automatically rather than trying to peel it.

With a large drum that rotates the spuds and they are scrubbed by rubbing the drum sides, bottom and each other. Running water washes away the scrubbed skin. Provided you don't over rumble you lose far less potato than peeling.
Home rumbler/peelers are also available. Title: Re: Sir Kenneth Grange on Desert Island Discs, Radio 4, 1 Jan 2017 Post by: JayMac on January 01, 2017, 22:35:53 Or, there's this method, employing a toilet brush, drill and bucket, from the Crazy Russian Hacker:
