Slices for Potato Chips? Will potatos slice thin enough for potato chips?

Absolutely. And taste better. I have used my baby Q to do slices as well as a knife. Run potatoes through the slicer. Lightly blot. Spray a dinner plate ligthlywith Pam. Lightly spray slices with Pam...both sides. Place slices on plate and microwave. Not on the high setting however. Microwaves vary and you will need to experiment on length of temps and cooking time for your appliance. Add seasonings and enjoy. Ive been doing this for years when I have a craving for potato chips.

Not sure I use it to slice ham, turkey and pork but not really thin slices so I'm not sure. Hope this was helpful.

It does not have thickness options and it probably would not slice thin enough for potato crisps. I would suggest a mandolin for that.

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.

Sure.. it will work fine. Pretend you're making potato chips. Cut them about 1/8" thick and lay them out on the trays. You can do thicker but it takes longer and you risk case hardening. ( Basically the outside dries too fast and traps in the interior moisture. ) Dry them slowly at a low temp first to get most of the moisture out and then a higher temp ( 140 F ) to finish them up.

I use mine to slice potatoes all the time for augratin. A word of advice put the potato all the way to one side when slicing to prevent the potato from falling sideways into to the blade because you get better slices from top down.

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 just tried mine on pickle size cucumbers (which is what I wanted it for) and it works great, but they're too thin. Only about 1/16 inch, so sadly, I'm going to send it back and get one of the adjustables. If you were going to make potato chips and wanted things thin, this works great and it's all they said it would be, from what I can see.

I do NOT think there is any way to slice potato rounds for chips with this cutter. It has multiple small blades meant for cutting shreds of vegetables.

this is a strong good machine and works great. but i don't know how the shape of the potato will look like or is it going to be very small for chips. it will shred the potato no problem bc it does the carrots very well. hope this helps :)

I haven't tried potatoes yet, but don't know why it won't work. This does good peeling, am not real happy with the way it slices...you might have better luck. You can peel and not slice.

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 -&gt; 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 !

I recently cooked a chipotle pepper crusted center cut pork loin and sliced it on my machine for sandwiches the next day. The slices were very thin and not ripped or shredded at all. They were deli quality thin about the thickness of two business cards.

Yes.as long as they aren't wider that the cuting plate. A potato6 inches wide around by 6 7inches long each should do just fine.

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

Yes, they are fully cooked and easy to slice. I dice mine for American Potato Salad.

OK, I don't have a millimeter measurement to give but the blade is a very heavy razor blade that's sharpened with a bevel on the bottom side and flat on top. Depending what you are cutting some stuff will slice thinner than others. Something hard like a carrot or potato can be extremely thin, but tomatoes will mush up if they are ripe and you try to make the same thin slice. You can adjust it so thin that it stops cutting.I mean harder stuff can be paper thin. I hope that's clear.
