Best Answer

So you can peel off its skin for making french fries, mashed potatoes, and many other types of potato based dishes.

Answer:

For aesthetic purposes only. Do it if the sight of skin bothers you or doesn't fit the plating. The majority of potassium and other nutritional perks within potatoes lies in or next to the skin. It is far better to wash them thoroughly and leave the skin on.

Answer:

Potato peelers are used to increase the speed at which potatoes can be peeled and reduce the amount of potato flesh wasted by unskilled peeling with a utility knife. As a safety benefit using the peeler (if done correctly) results in fewer cuts to the peelers hands
