does it work on slicing potatoes?

yes,but will be sort of thin, and if you want cubbed you first have to make slices than put the slices on blades

I used it on a yam (sweet potato) and it worked fine. I did use a glove to hold it so I wouldn't cut myself. Cut a piece off a rounded veggie so it "sits" more firmly on your cutting board. The first slice of the peeler was hard but it got progressively easier.

At the first look without trying, I SINCERELY FEEL, that this gadget shouldn't be tested against hard duty like slicing raw potato. At the same time I am sure it will not fail against soft fruits like an apple not charged whole but cut in four pieces. By any chance blades get blocked with hard material the electrical motor will be exposed to heavy strain and chances of permanent damage.

I've sliced sweet potatoes and found it best to use smaller potatoes or cut them in half. You will have better control of the blade.

it come with two cutters one for bigger potato cuts and one for smaller but they are just straight fries but its not strong enough to cut the potatoes, wouldn't recommend

No but it comes with a larger (big foot) attachment it is larger than the one shown in the pic attached to the blender, it should be able to handle potatoes

I use it to slice onions extremely thin for deep fried onion strings. It works great!

I've never used it for that purpose, but don' t think it will work. I primarily use it for slicing.

I don't think so. In fact, I was able to break one of the blade assemblies by forcing a regular potato through it. The manufacturer replaced it under warranty, but cautioned me that it would be advisable to square off the end of the potato to equalize the pressure the blades see. That seems to have worked.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

It works fine for sweet potatoes. The key is mounting it solidly to a wall so that you can put maximum torque on the Levert without fear of it coming loose. If you do that it will cut through just about any spud workout issue. If it's a huge potatoe consider slicing in half.

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

NO, I bought one and I am very disappointed. It is very hard to cut through raw potatoes and carrots. Very dissatisfied.

Yes, but it works a little easier if you square off the ends. If the potatoes are real firm it will give you a little exercise but it does work on sweet potatoes or yams.

As long as you're careful when you press the knife into the crust I don't think you should have a problem. I have used it to cut potatoes with it before. Just make sure that when you cut through the crust that you press straight down gently and don't force it. If this works for you I would appreciate a response to let me know that it can be used for this purpose. Thank you.

I have never tried it for this, but it appears it would work the slicer is mostly made for vegetables. If you use it for this purpose It may work, but the lifespan of the equipment would be shorter.

It can and has handled 40lbs of white potatoes, with no problem all with in just about 1hr time. It's good beats trying to slice.
