If you want to slice the potato into coins, I don't think this is what you want. It makes spirals and curlicues.

I will have to look at the specs to answer your question. However if you are looking for a new slicer, look no further. I will sell you mine. I have never used it, it is brand new. If you are interested I'm sure that we can make a good deal. Contact me@ yozjeff@aol.com.

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.

Yes! I absolutely LOVE this potato grater. It's very easy to use and very easy to clean. My husbands father is Lithuanian and I bought this to make Kuglis for my husband. I have used it several times and it works great.

Not sure about potatoes but we regularly use it to shred carrots for salads and such and it works great for that.

It has a serrated edge and that's why it works so well on soft things I think. I suppose you could do cooked potatoes with skins on to peal them. I can say I love it for tomatoes !!! skins are too tough for me so I peel them and love them raw that way. I bought several for gifts and they all seem to like it.

The stainless steel disc broke immediately just trying to cut a raw potato. My friend said we would have done better with a Ninja (brand name) processor. She says they cut anything and are indestructible. You might want to check it out.

Hello. What you purchase here is a standard fry shape (long, not crisscut). I am not sure if there is a separate plate available, but if there is, I would be interested in it myself. The fry cutter though works very well and I have had no issues. I would recommend letting your potatoes age slightly (we hang ours in the basement) so they are a little softer, but fresh potatoes have worked fine.

Although I have never tried, I think if you cut the potatoes slices thin enough it would chop them just fine. This unit is not overly sharp - so the potato slices would need to be fairly thin. Hope this helps!

If you have the regular model, you have to make cuts on the item being sliced and run the through the V-slicer against those cuts. In other words, if you were trying to cube a potato, make 3-4 long cuts on the end of the potato, and make sure the cuts are going lengthwise in the holder so that the blades will be cutting across the cuts. I hope that makes sense.

I have just started using it myself. Heats up leftovers well and quickly. I'm not sur how it would do with a potatoe. Might be best to micro those.

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.

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

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 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.

Yes are, you actually should be able to find them on amazon, as the Benriner slicer comes in different sizes, you need to make sure you are ordering the one for your particular model.

No. Too flimsy.Does not do potatoes that are big. May be good for golds and smaller but not good for doing potatoes for french fries. Buy the steel one!! This is plastic!
