In the video, a person is using a potato peeler to peel a potato. The potato is placed on a plate, and the peeler is being rotated around the potato to remove the skin. The person's hands are visible, and they are holding the potato steady while the peeler is in motion. The peeler is made of metal and has a handle that the person is using to rotate it around the potato. The potato skin is being removed in long strips and falling onto the plate below. The background is not clearly visible, but it appears to be an outdoor setting.
