Kitchen aid shredder/slicer attachment How does the shredder work on potatoes?

I know your question was posted 9 months ago, but just in case anyone else is interested.....It works great on potatoes. I've used it many times to make latkes. It easily shreds potatoes. I haven't used the slicer on potatoes, but my guess would be that it would work just as well.

I would like to know how well the slicer works on potatoes. Also, does the shredder work on chopping nuts? Thanks!

Works great on potatoes, did 40 pounds for a funeral dinner and they were great. There are some little shreds that happen but it just made the roaster of scalloped potatoes better. Yummo

The "disk" cutter blade can be set for slices or shredding. So, yes, you can slice potatoes for scalloped potatoes, but you would probably have to trim the potato to fit down the slot that feeds the slicer blade. A whole potato would not fit.

If you use a potato the exact size of the space inside of the cutter as you push down on the handle the slices are propelled from the other end. Plus you'll want the fries as long as you can possibly get them anyways. I think that photo was staged so people could see what happens in slow motion. Those pieces somewhat eject from the other end and will separate. That's what makes this cutter is a very fast an efficient unit.

my guess is that it is a self cleaning mechanism. so there is no paper left between the cutting blades. my last shredded did that a lot.

I know it will slice carrots. Look at the Oxo mandoline site Here is the link: http://www.oxo.com/p-543-chefs-mandoline-slicer.aspx# When you get to that screen scroll down and select the use and care icon. It shows shredded carrots.

i would say YES, but i do not have this attachment, i have the one that slices/grates, like this one, http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-RVSA-Slicer-Shredder-Attachment/dp/B00004SGFP/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1420063780&sr=1-1&keywords=kitchen+aid+cheese+grater+attachment and even then i think it might work....sorry i wasn't much help.

YES it will shred it, However, you must load the machine lightly with live tree branches, plants, brush and or fruits or it will clog. Each year, I shred whatever is left in the garden (tomatos, onions, and other foods) and it is ripped/shredded. I normally wait till these items die before shredding these items because the machine then gets all wet inside which helps rust to take hold and i want the machine to last longer. So I usually wait till things are dried up and dead before i shred them. Remember you cannot clean or dry the inside of the machine so its always best to shred dry/dead items. I have also shredded 4 inch 2x4 pieces and it chops them up also but beware if you do that because it will spit pieces out.

What I bought was a combination offer; it came with the food grinder, slicer/shredder, and also the fruit/veggie strainer. The strainer attachment can be purchased separately but I believe you need the grinder attachment to make the strainer attachment work, so I got them both. Since we do a lot of home canning and freezing of garden produce, I bought the strainer attachment because it would be the most used of the whole combination, as well as the most useful. The strainer removes the skins, seeds etc. from the produce (like tomatoes) and expels it out one end into a bowl and the juice is excreted out the back sloped 'runway' into another bowl. Haven't used the slicer/grinder/shredder attachment yet, since I don't do much with slicing cheese/meat etc., nor do I do much home grinding of meat to make my own hamburger mix. If I were going to make lots of sliced cheese, meat, etc. I'd use the shredder attachment, but for now my food processor does what little slicing, etc. I do. If you go to the KitchenAid site there are a number of videos showing the strainer in action. Just googling how the strainer attachment works got me to other videos as well.

Use the plain blade, the one without any shredding teeth. Once you've cut the ends off the potato, slice the potato from end to end with a knife, approximately 1/3 the width of the potato - you don't need to go 1/2 way, 1/3 is fine - then, as you push and turn the handle each slice will come out with a hole out of the center and a cut from the center to the outside edge. Otherwise...For plain ol' sliced potatoes you'll need to use a sharp knife. I usually slice off a lil' bit of the side of the potato so I have a nice flat surface on the cutting board to help me hold it securely as I cut the slices Use the plain blade, the one without any shredding teeth.

Though the reversible shredding disc on the BSB530XL All In One will do a very good job of shredding the veggies in to smaller pieces, they may look more like shoe-string potatoes or straw then spaghetti.

It's wide enough to shred a large block if cheese held sideways. It might work with potatoes. However a box shredder would be better. This is best for grating a small amount over a short period of time.

It says it works for potatoes, we only tried jerky & fruit & those came out perfect. What I like about this machine it dries in 1 day don't have to wait days. Yes I would recommend this product!!

The shredder blades come with machine 2 of them inside and 2 I think extra ones or one a little bigger in size for like carrots or latkes its a good buy I was looking for it for a long time because I love making potato pankes with it and also grind potato for a stuffed sausage its a very handy gadget and if u live in us u do not need an external voltage thing to make it work

The shredder blades are too small for a moist vegetables. What you need to use is the slicer blade. It has long slots on it.

I have it attached to a hose that feeds the shredded leaves directly into a bag. Works fine. Big leaves - no problem. It shreds small sticks too. Very happy with the product

The shredder slicer attaches to the mixer unit where the blender attaches. A person doesn't need to purchase any other equipment to use this attachment

Works great on potato's too, you have to remove the coring attachment. (not hard to do)
