New apparatus for peeling potato is disclosed. This hand-operated device includes a cylindrical container in which slides a spherical basket. The container is fitted, on inside wall, with spring mounted cutters forming together a self-adjustable peripheral peeling tool. The basket is formed by concentric ribs which are located to slide between each cutter when both the basket and the container are nested together. For peeling, the potato is introduced into the basket which, in turn, is inserted inside the container; using a long handle, the basket is subjected to alternating up and down motion. The enclosed potato rotates freely inside the basket to different positions, before passing through the aperture formed by a set of peripheral cutters. The wastes are collected inside the container, which could be opened at bottom for cleaning. The basket is equipped with a retractable handle to house completely inside the container for storage.
