Kitchen aid shredder/slicer attachment: How does the shredder work on potatoes?
868324
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.

Shredder Oil lubricates the cutter and keeps them from dulling faster and helps them to run smoother, putting less strain on the shredder motor. This extends the life of your shredder. Super easy to use, run a thin line of oil across a sheet of paper once every time you empty the basket and run it through the shredder.

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

I don't know if it shreds them, but I leave both staples and paper clips on the paper and it handles it with not problem.

Hey there. I reviewed a KitchenAid "Juicer" attachment, which met our expectations. I do not know anything about any other attachments. Sorry.

Sorry I haven't tried this - sounds like you have an interesting recipe. I think the shred blade would come pretty close.

No, you need the grater attachment. I love mine! Order the Kitchenaid Rotor Slicer/ Shredder For Vegetables & Fruit Fits Stand Mixers. It also cleans real easy!

I don't think the blades would shred paper. They'd probably jam up. And it really isn't designed for large volumes of anything.

I find that using a mandolin for slicing the potato or whatever, give the most uniform slices. After slicing, place each slice on a paper towel to absorb extra moisture with another paper towel over the top. Place the slices on the Mastrad without overlapping. You can add whatever seasoning you like--salt, Spike, Mrs. Dash, dill weed, etc. I use two Mastrad sheets at a time. For potatoes, I do them for 3 minutes, turn the slices over on the sheets, and do them for 3 more minutes. I also alternate the top & bottom sheets for more even cooking. The chips are magnificent without all the fat. I especially like beets done this way. I find that using a mandolin for slicing the potato or whatever, give the most uniform slices.

I haven't tried carrots yet with it. it shreds potatoes and cheese nicely. It can slice sticks of pepperoni but not very well you have to push pretty hard. I think it would shred carrots nicely. It works great and I love that you can store stuff after you shred it.

You need to crush them. It presses the pulp to nearly dry. I used my kitchen aid mixer shredder attachment.

Yes, we use an electric shredder it works great. But once it's all in a bin with water etc, we stir it and let it "meddle" and ends up breaking up even more over time.

For those of you who get great results shredding carrots: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? My main purpose for buying a food processor was to grate carrots for carrot cake. I am EXTREMELY DISATISFIED with this processor!!! It creates huge pieces of carrot mixed in with the shredded carrot in the bowl. And, LOTS and LOTS of chunks of carrot are left on the top of the shredder, not even making it into the bowl. I have to fish out the chunks of carrot before I can use the shredded stuff. Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. I was so excited to buy this food processor but now it just sits on the shelf.

Shredder attaches to the the Base part of Universal Bosch mixer with model name MUM6N.... , for example http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Universal-Mixer-Blender-Combo/dp/B001VXY3I0(maybe others as well)BUT it WILL NOT attach where the blender attaches. I think the Amy W. below made a mistake because Bosch has two shredder/slicer models. One is smaller and it attaches where Blender attaches. It has smaller bowl and smaller diameter discs, but spins much faster (same speed as blender). It is sometime called "multi-mixer". The other sredder/slicer model attaches to main base. It has larger bowl and larger discs, but spins slower. This YouTube video actually shows both types.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s3B3Z7xVxc Shredder attaches to the the Base part of Universal Bosch mixer with model name MUM6N.... , for example http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Universal-Mixer-Blender-Combo/dp/B001VXY3I0(maybe others as well)BUT it WILL NOT attach where the blender attaches.

The shredder blades come with machine 2 of them inside and 2 I think extra ones or one a little bigger in size for like carrots or latkes its a good buy I was looking for it for a long time because I love making potato pankes with it and also grind potato for a stuffed sausage its a very handy gadget and if u live in us u do not need an external voltage thing to make it work

You get a food processor with three interlocking bowls. There is an accessory kit with a storage case. There is one slicing blade where you can dial thickness from thin to thick. There is a reversible shredding blade and you can shred in two thicknesses. There are two chopping blades; one for each of the two bowls you use for shopping. There is a dough blade and the dicing kit and a plastic pusher to clean the dicing kit. There is a spatula and a basic manual. There are no recipes in the manual.

It comes with the shredder and slicer and several blades. I haven't used all of them yet. It works really well. I was making salsa. My first time, it turned out pretty good. I want to learn how to use shredder for making slaw. That is mainly why I bought it. Hope this helps
