Got to wondering about this as I found myself laboriously peelings some spuds, something I only do a couple of times a year, so I thought I'd who peels or processes your spuds ready for you to cook then?

Edit:

Oops messed up one of the options, the one that says "I Do"  :sad:

I like potato skins. So, no one.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I'm sorry Mongers but you're missing the most obvious answer:

my kids!

I'm serious though - I probably should get my kids more involved in cooking than I do, but the three things that are 100% kid duties are:

-setting the table
-peeling potatoes
-grating cheese

I never thought about making my children peel potatoes.

They are not going to like you BB when I tell them where I got the idea.

My parents always had us involved in food prep once we were physically able.

My parents wanted to keep me out of the food as much as possible after I coated the dog with grease and sugar.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I find my childrens too slow for an effective meal prep. I make them do the kitchen logistics.

However, I hadn't thought about only asking for potatoes peeling.

:shifty:

It's a perfect kid's task.

You give them a veggie peeler, so they can't seriously hurt themselves.  Just give them a bag of potatoes and tell them to go to town.  At worst they might skin their finger which might hurt, but they can't chop off a finger or anything.

As I said - same thing with grating cheese.  Or shucking corn or peas in the summer.

Given the season you can probably find them an old timey black and white stripped prison suit on the cheap. Really round out the ambience :D

Well yes, trainees are always slower.
