can I use this cutter to also make carrots and sweet potatoes fries?

Yes. I have made sweet potato fries several times. I microwaved the sweet potato for 1 minute 20 seconds and after trimming it to fit on the machine it worked great. Note: I did use the larger opening blade for the fries, have not tried the smaller ones on a sweet potato yet. I am saving the the trimmed portion of the sweet potatoes in a freezer bag and will use them to make mashed sweet potatoes.

Yes, I have used it to make potato chips myself. I sliced them very thin & medium both cooked well.

I have not tried to cut carrots, but it works with potatoes so I would think it would work with the carrots.

It should. We have only used it to make fried potatoes and it works great! Better than I thought it would. There's so many attachments, it should do about anything. We really like it.

Absolutely! Yesterday I used my chopper to slice a combo of sweet potatoes and yams. Then I pan fried them in a little coconut oil. Yummy!

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...

No I think sweet potatoes would be to hard. I used mine to make slaw. We sheredded up cabbage, carrots, and onions.

No, French Fries only. You can get a slicer attachment for your Kitchen Aid if you have one. Mine does a great job!

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

I have to be honest, it cuts fries, but a dedicated fry cutter would be better, it's the design, it limits the length of the fry, it works, but your fries are short and stubby.

You have two cutter's; one is thick and the other is thin. And if they are not thick enough you can always use the Corer. I like thick fries so that is my choice. Thanks!

you can, but i would not recommend it, this is designed for pastry and other baking needs; you will dull and ruin your knives very quickly if you decide to use this to cut veggies and meat;

Yes. This cuts carrots and they are much harder than sweet potatoes. It cuts a veggie platter quickly but wont cut green peppers. It does cucumbers and carrots beautifully and any kind of potatoes! I love my cutter!

If you use a potato the exact size of the space inside of the cutter as you push down on the handle the slices are propelled from the other end. Plus you'll want the fries as long as you can possibly get them anyways. I think that photo was staged so people could see what happens in slow motion. Those pieces somewhat eject from the other end and will separate. That's what makes this cutter is a very fast an efficient unit.

I just cut potatoes for fries...I use one attachment for cube potatoes for hash, burritos, etc....i like all the three you mentioned above cubed....if you want to cut fries you need another attachment and I do not think it is available with this unit.

I haven't tried this unit on sweet potato. If I had to guess it would probably cut small ones OK, but for monster sweet potato it might not work well.
