Just a couple thoughts:

Technique used for four potatoes is different than technique for 40. (Just an example)
The suji is a good idea but essentially you'll have to slow down.
Using the last 1/3 of a gyuto blade is also a good idea but it puts additional strain on the wrist.
Cutting the potato in half is also a good idea unless you need thin round slices.
The thing about stiction with potatoes is you often need to slice and arrange "in order". So if you have spuds flying around it slows you down big time.
Also, transporting the spuds from cutting service to vessel is much quicker when they stay nicely together.
Some of the same things apply if you're cubing or julienne.

Also, I really like sujis for potatoes.

I like suji for EVERYTHING.
