Yes you can it does a good job with Potatoes Carrots Onion if you cut it in half first, hope that helps�I have just reread this, I did not mention tha I cut potatoes into for or five rings before chopping it only takes a couple of minutes depending on their size also Carrots if they are large I cut them about 4 times and medium onions in half.

Not necessarily. I used larger potatoes but I just cut them in half before I put it in there. One thing though, it's gets difficult to use after the first few uses. The blades wore down extremely fast. I just about killed myself trying to put a sweet potato through it.

The assembly would not be good for french fries as the potato is cut in a downward movement that would only allow for about a 3" french fry. It is a great product and we love it however I would NOT purchase it if my goal was to create French Fries.

Hi there ! Yes it will but ... , for just the relatively small device (if you're thinking about potatoes, which are hard to cut anyway) I suggest you to buy bigger mandoline cutter, like Bron . MIU http://reviews.chefscatalog.com/8855/26141/chefs-commercial-stainless-steel-mandoline-slicer-reviews/reviews.htm Look at Bron Original Stainless Steel Mandoline Slicer -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bron-Original-Stainless-Steel-Mandoline-Slicer-/230984272926?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash;=item35c7bc4c1e - something like that. beside, you have a lot of video on YouTube to choose from. You have to be prepared to send around 160 dollars. Good luck ! Hi there !

The product will take anything up to the diameter of the cutter area, approximately 3.5" wide. You can go up to 5-6" long, which is the opening of the potato resting area with the handle all the way up. Keep Physics in mind if you're after loooong fries...the higher the handle, the more effort needed to push the potato through the cutter -- It works great! Made 4 lbs of fries on Christmas Day, yummy!!

My husband has chopped potatoes with this for French fries, but honestly I don't think I would have enough strength to do that. Other than that I nearly use it every day for chopping. I love it!

Yes.. If I'm cooking fries from fresh potatoes, I usually cut it into round chips , pour a little grape seed oil, and salt. Mix it all together so the oil coats the potatoes. Then I lay them on the rack and in about 8-10 mins they are ready. They come out very crispy and my kids love them. If you are cooking frozen they would also cook well.

The cutting blades are about 3 1\4 inches square, so you can cut a pretty big potato with this unit. Overall it is a very nice heavy duty unit with four blade sizes. Keep in mind these type of slicers work great for potatoes or carrots but not really made to cut sweet potatoes. So I would say nearly all potatoes would fit this cutter just fine. If you had some really gigantic size potatoes you could cut them in half and run them through the slicer.

Yes! But you will only be able to cut soft vegetables, Irish potatoes are ok but sweet potatoes or yams will not work

yes it could be used that way dr you can use the square cutter blades to make square fries you just have to slice your vegies the size you would like to use it is also great for making homemade potatoe salad you can dice up your eggs pickles onions and all the other things used in your salad as you know everybody has their own twist on what is added to potatoe salad but dicing your onions and sweating them on medium heat will make your potatoe salad last longer without the onions overpowering the whole dish those onions tend to take over with age if not sweating them down to pretty tender texture but like i say yes this is a very good asset for you kitchen utensils. hope you enjoy it we sure do enjoy ours vegetable sour is a cooks best help the norco big mouth slicer, chopper have a great day

I don't think making fries from scratch would turn out too well in this product. It's possible, if you spray oil or butter spray on the potatoes. I cook store bought frozen fries without oil in it, and it tastes good, but not as good if they were really fried. My Big Boss works great. It doesn't make food taste as good as fried, but it's still worth it, in my opinion.

The cuisinart does not come with the 1 or 2 mm slicing disc they have to be purchased separately. The 1 mm slicing disc only fits the cuisinart DLC-XP which is the 20 cup model. The 2 mm is pretty thin like 1/16" which is really thin but not Lay's Potato chips thin. I think it would be okay for potato chips. I bought my 2mm from thegourmetdepotco.com. As for the potato, you can drop in a whole potato but the size is limited by the size of the feed tube. If it's wider than the feed tube it has to be cut to fit. Also, since potatoes are never uniform in size, if you plan to process more than one at a time, you may or may not be able to get more than one in the feed tube without having to cut at least one of them. That has been my experience. Update: I sliced a potato using the 2mm disc and baked the chips in the oven. Once the potatoes lose their moisture in the oven, they are thin. They baked up nice, crispy, and thin. After this experiment, I think the 2mm is perfect for potato chips. They baked up nice and crispy. I will have to do this more often!

This product dice potatoes but it is not suitable for fries. There are other gadgets that make cut potatoes into julienne and thicker fries.

I think you would have to cut the potato in half lengthwise to make it work. Don't think it would work well with potato

I guess that depends on what you want to use it for. I use mine for french fries, it has two blade sizes and works great. I did pick this one because the price was better, and have not been disappointed by it.

If you wanted to make chips this will do a great job. As for fries, these slicers do not have the blades as I have seen on other slicers to cut them into strips. I guess you could cut them into big chips and then cut them again into strips.
