Does it cut sweet potatoes

Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit. I cut sweet potatoes for custom dog food that I make and I have never gotten through a batch (20lbs) with out having to poke jammed potatoes from the blade. Patience and you'll be good. When I make large batchs (40+ lbs of potatoes) I use a hand French Fry Cutter / Potato Cutter as it is far easier with out the jam issue. I have the Nemco 56450A-1 - Monster FryKutter - Tabletop Mount. I have it mounted on a wall in the garage (Vertically) as this is easier for me to press down using my body strength for more leverage. Works like a charm. Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit.

It is so precise and easy to operate I can't imagine anything it would not do perfectly! However, I did have to return the separate holders for extra blades as the ones I had purchased did not fit. Love the three bowl sizes that all store in the machine and the blade storage box!

the motor does NOT seem as strong as their older models. I think sweet potatoes would be a challenge and by the time you are done cutting them into strips to fit machine, you might as well finish the job with the knife. I wished i had returned my new poster in a timely manner. the unit i would give an over OK but not a GREAT like the older model that i simply wore out after 20 years.

Works good for regular potatoes. Not so good for sweet potatoes. works good for the price. I think if I needed a new one I would get something a little more durable that provided some leverage to make it easier to doo harder things like sweet potatoes. I find it works best with larger potatoes that will not move while you are cutting them.

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 .

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.

Yes it does. However the blade says it is for 1" cuts, rather small. But with the included attachments you could buy larger blades that would work

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.

Yes it does and it is the best. Matter of fact, it was the potato peeler gift to me from a friend that started this obsession. I tested it on a pineapple. It peeled the pineapple with a little effort but it still peeled. Now I use one of the knives. Draw the knife through instead pushing straight down for best results. The knives will go through a raw carrot like it was butter.

Yes I've used it for sweet potatoes. Some can be really big like potatoes so you just have to cut it down to fit.

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.

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.

It did when I bought it.. I don't use the potato peeler as I have another I like better.. do like the knife a lot..

I would say that it is likely it will take care of it pretty easily. I haven't done sweet potatoes w the spiralizer yet though. You might also check out this spiralizer. GEFU Spiralfix Spiral Cutter I would be more likely to give this route a try given another chance. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwVhBOWUV0&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

If you slice the zucchini the long way, the 'noodles' come out out long and thin, just like spaghetti. I have not tried it on sweet potatoes, because they're too high in carbs--but the blades do seem sharp enough to cut a sweet potato, if you put enough pressure on it.

I have used it for sweet and white, red potatoes you need to cut the potatoes to cut to fit the shoot size 1 1/2 X 2 1/4. I use it to slice potatoes for frying works good and so easy and fast. The larger Pesto shooter would be bigger if you really want bigger chips. I like this small one as don't have a lot of space to keep it in. I just love mine, best little tool for what it does.

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.
