A system, method and device for cutting and peeling a root vegetable. The system includes a frame to receive a cooked root vegetable, a surface slidably connected to the frame to move linearly and reciprocally along at least a portion of the length of the frame, a wire assembly fixed to the frame and oriented perpendicular to the movement of the surface, and power to enable the surface to move toward the wire assembly. When the surface is activated, it moves the vegetable through the wire assembly which simultaneously cuts and removes the skin therefrom.
