can it peel potatoes

I don't think it is a good use for this, I find a traditional peeler easier to use for potatoes and carrots. I use it to make zucchini spaghetti and its perfect for that.

Have used for zucchini only so far. A friend used it on butternut squash too.

It can but it shreds at the same time and is rather sharp so you might use a mandolin for potatoes to save your fingers

Yes it does have a potato peeler in the set. It is a great one also. Fits nicely into your hand and is very comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

Not really the only thing you can do is adjust the depth of the blade so it doesn't cut as deep....it will leave some peel on the ends but you save a ton of the Apple. Uneven apples and large apples don't do as well with this peeler. I have done potatoes and small apples and it works great.

I would say no. Works with firm fruit like apple and pear. But whew pear gets really ripe fruit falls off spindle. Forget tomatoes potatoes yes

Yes, you can peel an apple or potato without it being sliced, however the apple will still have the core intact.

I hope this helps. I cannot tell you about a having never used the other peeler. I can tell you I peeled 100 lbs of potato by myself using this machine last March. Was it perfect no. But close enough for me! It peeled everything I put in it. I canned some froze some and dried the rest.Please let me stress By Myself again. I bought 2 more for my canning sisters. I did use it for apples also but it will peel so much more.buy it you won't be sorry.

You can use it to juice just about anything I'd guess. I have juiced carrots, pears, apples, oranges, spinach, etc. I've never juiced potatoes but I imagine it'd do a good job on them.

I would think so. If you loosen the wing nut and swing away the coring circle it should peel a potato. I haven't tried this but looks like it would work.

Not really. It does apples best. I did try potatoes but it wasn't great at it.

i didn't try to use it on fresh potato, but it works with cooked one. just make slices then press with cutter to have cubes. it is very helpful to make salad.

Have not peeled any squash with it but it does a fine job on red potatoes and russet potatoes and if you are not careful when you wash it it will slice the heck out of your finger ,It comes with a blade protector try to hang on to it and replace it back on the blade when you are finished . best peeler I have ever owned .

I just checked mine, and on mine the blade that slices is adjustable. It can be moved out of the way, so that you only peel and core. You will always core, the coring is part of the frame. So if you did a potato, it would core it. We make sliced apples (similar to Famous Dave's Apples) all the time using this, and it works awesome. Can core, peel, and slice a full apple in about 10 to 15 seconds.

I guess it can. But the carrots must be short and fat. I wouldn't use it for that. We peeled potatoes and apples. It works great for apples.

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