Will it cut unpeeled potatoes?

We haven't tried it but I think that it would. It is a very heavy metal. Not flimsy at all. We use it often.

Not necessarily. I used larger potatoes but I just cut them in half before I put it in there. One thing though, it's gets difficult to use after the first few uses. The blades wore down extremely fast. I just about killed myself trying to put a sweet potato through it.

Yes. Depending on what cup or blade you use. I've done russets and red potatoes, carrots, but Onions are a a bit messy due to their layers. Cut a sweet potato and if it cuts fairly easy, you will have no problem. If it is too hard, boil them a little to soften them up some. Never cut a yam with it though.

If the potatoes are raw, it may not chop them unless you start with smaller chunks.

It has a small (semi-sheathed) blade that peels apples because they are of a uniform shape. I wouldn't even attempt tp peel potatoes in it. They are grittier (dirtier) of various shapes, sizes, and the flesh isn't the same texture as apples. So, no.

Yes! But you will only be able to cut soft vegetables, Irish potatoes are ok but sweet potatoes or yams will not work

I don't think so. In fact, I was able to break one of the blade assemblies by forcing a regular potato through it. The manufacturer replaced it under warranty, but cautioned me that it would be advisable to square off the end of the potato to equalize the pressure the blades see. That seems to have worked.

It does have regular blades and it is good for whipping potatoes not mashing them. You need a masher, then whip.

It might but it has to be semi frozen. Easier to slice with a sharp knife while semi frozen or via a food processor slicer blade.

If you are thinking of most potato chips, then no, the 2mm blade does not cut the potato into thin enough slices. But the slices are thinner than the regular blade that comes with the unit, and I have this 2mm blade and use it a lot. I like it for many uses... thin celery slices, carrots, zucchini, potatoes.... etc.

No, the capacity of the food shoot will not sustain a potato. You will have to pre-cut them.

Don't know; gave the potato cutter to our daughter-in-law. I'll ask her how she gets the cutter blade out and let you know.

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.

I never thought of that! So I tried it and it works....to a certain degree... Since tater peels seems to be much harder than apple peels, it takes more pressure to work. And unless your tater is very symmetrical, it will leave bits and pieces of peel on the spud that you may or may not want to remove. Frankly, I don't think this peeler is made to do this, and it may wear out the little peel blade more quickly. To make a long story short...yes it will peel potatoes.

As long as you're careful when you press the knife into the crust I don't think you should have a problem. I have used it to cut potatoes with it before. Just make sure that when you cut through the crust that you press straight down gently and don't force it. If this works for you I would appreciate a response to let me know that it can be used for this purpose. Thank you.

Yes it will but you need to use it harder than usually knife to work but it will get the job done.

Yes..it will...not uniformly but it will chop and if not careful, pulverize it.
