The number of fries that you can get from a potato is dependent on the size of the potato. The maximum length, however is limited to about 3 3/4 inches

The cutter comes with two different cutting plates. regular plate cuts 25 fries and the small plate cuts 49. You may also be interested in that the size of potato that can be put into the cutter has to be under 4" x 2". Also getting the number of fries stated above will only be possible if you use a potato cut to fit the entire plate.

That depends entirely on how big a serving, but based on a regular 9" pie cut into 8 pieces, I estimate that the 6" pie would yield close to 3 servings that are about the same size as the 9" piece. They are also good for pot pies.

8 or 9, but don't expect it to cut the time in half. The potatoes turn out more moist and don't seem to shrivel up.

We have four adults in the house and my wife usually makes two batches of fries and it is more than enough. I think it would depend on what you are cooking.

It depends on how you cut it. It can serve as many as 12 and as few as 6. But if you cut it in to small pieces it will serve about 16.

may guess is 36....that's what I got. I have a bunch of left overs. How many do you need?

It, of course, depends on how wide you cut the pieces, I would say about 12 to 16 slices.

My husband has chopped potatoes with this for French fries, but honestly I don't think I would have enough strength to do that. Other than that I nearly use it every day for chopping. I love it!

This product dice potatoes but it is not suitable for fries. There are other gadgets that make cut potatoes into julienne and thicker fries.

Use the plain blade, the one without any shredding teeth. Once you've cut the ends off the potato, slice the potato from end to end with a knife, approximately 1/3 the width of the potato - you don't need to go 1/2 way, 1/3 is fine - then, as you push and turn the handle each slice will come out with a hole out of the center and a cut from the center to the outside edge. Otherwise...For plain ol' sliced potatoes you'll need to use a sharp knife. I usually slice off a lil' bit of the side of the potato so I have a nice flat surface on the cutting board to help me hold it securely as I cut the slices Use the plain blade, the one without any shredding teeth.

How long is a piece of string? Really depends upon the size of your family and their appetite for fries. (Americans tend to go overboard with fries). I use no more than 2 pounds of potatoes (there are concerns about the strength of the paddle if the machine is overloaded) and get at least 4 servings which I consider of adequate size for adults). As with the other reviewers I'm not aware of any other size of machine from T-Fal.

I looked at Tim's answer and maybe it's closer to five. I still cut my larger onions before I slice them, though.

it come with two cutters one for bigger potato cuts and one for smaller but they are just straight fries but its not strong enough to cut the potatoes, wouldn't recommend

I think the trick is you have to turn the handle in both directions back and forth no matter what you use in it. You should be able to use one potato at a time. I have never had a problem with quantity when using mine. I have used it for cactus apples for the juice and at times put one in and mushed it fine. I have used it with tomato's and different foods. Hope this helps, just grab the handle and work it in both directions.

No, you simply plug it in and unplug it when done. You can fry about 4 cups of raw potatoes or 4-5 pieces of meat at one time. If you overfill it, food will not come out as crispy.

I would say you can fry half a bag of fries (28-32 oz bag) at a time. Good size! Love it!

I assume you mean waffle fries, no, this is a French fry cutter, you need a mandolin for that
