Slices for Potato Chips? Will potatos slice thin enough for potato chips?

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.

I use mine to slice potatoes all the time for augratin. A word of advice put the potato all the way to one side when slicing to prevent the potato from falling sideways into to the blade because you get better slices from top down.

I just cut some mozzarella but cut it about 1/4 inch without a problem.. I haven't tried to slice anything thin as yet..

You would need to slice them lengthwise, in order to be able to properly cut a sweet potato. Say, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Works great for them if they're not to thick.

I just tried mine on pickle size cucumbers (which is what I wanted it for) and it works great, but they're too thin. Only about 1/16 inch, so sadly, I'm going to send it back and get one of the adjustables. If you were going to make potato chips and wanted things thin, this works great and it's all they said it would be, from what I can see.

this is a strong good machine and works great. but i don't know how the shape of the potato will look like or is it going to be very small for chips. it will shred the potato no problem bc it does the carrots very well. hope this helps :)

Hi. The blade is thin but certainly not as sharp as a knife. I think it would be good for things such as carrots, avocados, and asparagus. It would not be good for things like potatoes. I hope that helps.

definitely. I can easily fit 2 large slices of bread, so potatoes shouldn't be a problem.

I guess it's kind of a dehydrator for the microwave. But the slices must be very thin to make the chips. When I use a dehydrator, I can use a much thicker slice of fruit or vegetables.

Yeah, slices very thin. We sliced potatoes to around a 1/16" slices and fried them. Worked great I thought

Depends on how thin you want the potato sliced. I find that about half an inch is left over. The guard has tines that you push forward as your vegetable gets smaller so there is not much waste.

You can find descriptions of what each blade does on the Amazon page for the product. I my opinion, though, one would need to be processing a lot do food to make them worth the money. I only use them when we are having big family parties. The French fry cutter makes the potato pieces a nice size until they are cooked, then they shrink and are more like match sticks. The slicer is nice for even slices of things. Read the reviews, they have a lot of info in them. I am glad I bought them, but don't use them often.

I doubt these will meet your requirements. They're not thinner than a dime, they're more like the thickness of two dimes. And, they are not completely flat, but slightly rounded toward the top. I used them for "feet" on a cutting board and because I was using a cleaver to chop, they did not "stick". Had I been slicing only, they would have been fine. I went to larger feet (more sticky area on the board surface) and that worked.

Yes ! This knife will give you perfect slices. The narrow blade helps. I've done it.

Absolutely! Great at making thin potato slices and lots of other veggies. We use ours almost daily.

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.

I just made sweet potato chips yesterday. I sliced them as thinly as I could, rubbed olive oil on them, and sprinkled some with sea salt and some with cinnamon. I dried them for about 11 hours, I think. They're pretty good, but I think that if I could have gotten them thinner they might have been better. They're very crunchy, but "hard" crunchy. This might be the norm for sweet potato chips, as packaged ones I've had are certainly harder than potato chips. I'm going to look for suggestions for better results, but I think this was a successful first try.
