does it cut sweet potatoes easily?

It depends on how fresh the potato is. Very large hard potatoes can be a bit difficult but if you are strong it is okay. They do make wonderful fries. A man would have no problems.

no the one I have needed to be bolted to the table. It takes more effort than I expected. I am thinking about mounting it vertically and making the lever longer with a removable pipe for more leverage.

I haven't tried this unit on sweet potato. If I had to guess it would probably cut small ones OK, but for monster sweet potato it might not work well.

I'm not sure if I just received bad blades twice but I had a terrible time trying to cut sweet potatoes.

Yes it cuts easily with a utility knife...just make sure you cut even amounts off each edge to keep your drain centered.

No, but it can used easily for cookie dough. It's sharp enough to cut through it. Great idea!

Yes... It can easily be cut. I did not cut mine down until the old one ripped (my fault it did), but it cuts intentionally very easy

I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. However, the biggest problem with slicing potatoes isn't the hardness of the potato but the diameter.

no, but the one blade is very sharp and does a very good job of chopping, coarse or fine, or almost a paste if you want.I did white sugar and strips of lemon peel zest the other day and it did great.

I used it to cut raw sweet potatoes fairly successfully. It is quite sharp, but the plastic is somewhat weak and bends under the pressure of trying to slice, resulting in some uneven cuts.

This knife has a thin blade. It has a little give to it but the thin blade makes dicing small items like shallots and garlic a breeze.. however, if you are cutting up a potato, the knife tends to bend a little and not make a perfect cut. This seems to be my go to knife for all the small stuff. For the price it can't be beat. It also stays sharp. Hope this helps.

Hello Paulina , yes it will peel a sweet potato , but the slices won't be wide enough . Your slices won't be big enough to make chips . I hope I helped you . It's a great peeler .

Hi. The blade is thin but certainly not as sharp as a knife. I think it would be good for things such as carrots, avocados, and asparagus. It would not be good for things like potatoes. I hope that helps.

They can be sliced, however, "easy" is a term that depends on one's point of view. I will say this; the potatoes are fairly firm, so you will need a reasonably sharp knife to slice them.

Yes, it's very easy to cut. I cut a piece off the end of mine to use in another area of my garage.

Not according to the instructions on my bag. I did not. I cook sweet potatoes because they taste better and they are much healthier for you.

Yes and very uniformly, just slice your potato, place on the grid and go. This machine has done everything I ever wanted it to and then some. Enjoy! I did raw potatoes with no problem. It does carrots and they are denser than a potato.

Yes. I have made sweet potato fries several times. I microwaved the sweet potato for 1 minute 20 seconds and after trimming it to fit on the machine it worked great. Note: I did use the larger opening blade for the fries, have not tried the smaller ones on a sweet potato yet. I am saving the the trimmed portion of the sweet potatoes in a freezer bag and will use them to make mashed sweet potatoes.

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.

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.
