Does this make good potatoes au gratin?

I didn't used it for potatoes au gratin, and I probably won't use it for anything in the future. The powder really didn't have enough "cheesy" flavor for me.

Absolutely... I would recommend mixing it with the hot water before adding it to the casserole so that you don't get lumps..I usually buy the potatoes au gratin box (any brand) as the "base", then I slice up potatoes that I have pre-cooked (at least partially) and add a bit of additional milk to cover all of the potatoes... as an extra flavor I sometimes add cut up brocolli florets and sometimes cut up red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers and of course onions too... YUM...

I never tried it to make potatoes au gratin although it is exactly the same as you would get in a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese and tastes very good.

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

Absolutely. And taste better. I have used my baby Q to do slices as well as a knife. Run potatoes through the slicer. Lightly blot. Spray a dinner plate ligthlywith Pam. Lightly spray slices with Pam...both sides. Place slices on plate and microwave. Not on the high setting however. Microwaves vary and you will need to experiment on length of temps and cooking time for your appliance. Add seasonings and enjoy. Ive been doing this for years when I have a craving for potato chips.

Absolutely ! Works great right out of the box - I was so excited to make potato pancakes that I didn't even think to wash the grater parts.Simple stated this is a great machine and well worth the investment.

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!

It's for the short way. Potatoes don't work well with this one from my experience. It works great for the softer veggies like squash and onions

Probably not the best choice for potato. It is a very, very fine grater. Works well on hard cheese (Parmesan), lemon zest, or anything that needs a smaller shred.

Yes, actually you can do two baked potatoes in it. Sometimes, I even cube the potatoes into chunks to cook. Then, I put butter or sour cream on the potatoes once I take them out of the microwave. Hope that this helps!

It would not be fair for the other brands, if I answer that cause I hasn't used the other ones they have now. But for the price is a great product. Is small so for french fries you have to use small to medium potatoes so they can fit. And for other vegetables is good also.

I never tried it but it does chop very nicely and I would think if you cut the potatoes in pieces it would chop them.

No. You need to wash the potatoes and pat dry. The potatoes are already wet.

Yes and very uniformly, just slice your potato, place on the grid and go. This machine has done everything I ever wanted it to and then some. Enjoy! I did raw potatoes with no problem. It does carrots and they are denser than a potato.

You can, but just add your choice of cooking oil! I heat up the oil a little at first. Be careful to pat the potatoes dry before putting them in the pan with the oil so they won't splatter, and watch over them as you fry. I have the Presto Electric folding fryer, and I have fried breaded chicken cutlets in oil, and they come out moist and delicious. I have also made French fries very successfully. Good luck!

This will puree foods very finely. It has three levels of mesh. When I make potatoes with it they are very smooth. It will also leave any peel in the container, it won't go through the mesh. Hope that helps!

Works great on potatoes, did 40 pounds for a funeral dinner and they were great. There are some little shreds that happen but it just made the roaster of scalloped potatoes better. Yummo

I love this pot, but I would mash my potatoes elsewhere. The non stick surface would be nicked. So to be safe I'd say no
