I know you're just trying to sound like a smartarse wank but who in the utter fuck doesn't have a potato peeler?
Where do you live, Kyrgyzstan? ๐
People that have moved around a lot and never had a chance to assemble a lot of cooking utensils until recently. But I'm glad your life has been so charmed you can't imagine someone not taking a potato peeler for granted.
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.
