Will this also core potatoes well? Please only respond if you have successfully cored potatoes. Thanks.

Why yes, it will core potatoes if you keep the spiral attachment up. If you do not want to do this and just peel the potato simply lower the spiral attachment so that you just peel instead of spiral. I like to use the spiral attachment to make scalloped potatoes. The center piece can be baked or fried separately from your recipe of choice or you can chop the center piece into your recipe. I hope this answers your question?

thanks for your reply. do I understand correctly that this cuisinart does not come with either a 1 or 2 mm slicer? and, that the tube is not large enogh to put in a whole potato? some of the reviews indicate you can put in a whole potato? is a 2mm slicer thin enough for potato chips? I appreciate your reply

Hum, I am going to say no. BUT you may be on to something to be honest. If you have a ricer you know that the potatoes get extremely fluffy. for say Gnocchi I only rice the potatoes. Grinding might work though.

I haven't tried that. I suppose you could if the potatoes were extremely done, maybe overcooked.

It is a bit slow but does the trick. I've made a very large quantity of potatoes without issue. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! Just be careful. The slicing blade is so sharp and effortless to use, you will be through a potato before you realize it. You'll have the potatoes sliced and frying in half the time than if you used a knife.

I cannot imagine getting it out for one potato. I made several batches of cherry tomatoes into sauce this year. I have also used it for grapes, apples, etc. The point of the mill is that skin, seeds, pits and the likes stay in the mill while the rest is passed through. And it is great for that and for saving time.

I used it with potato's too ... And potatoes are usually misshapen anyway. And I was pleased with the results.

Hmmm. How many potatoes are you mashing and mixing? When I use it for mashed potatoes, it's usually with 4-6 potatoes tops. I break them down with a potato masher first and add a little milk or vegetable broth during the mixing depending on the recipe. Additionally, I do not continuously blend. I move the blender around in the pot to help it. Perhaps it's the initial mashing or the addition of liquids, but the machine rarely needs more than just a few minutes to blend perfectly smooth potatoes. Cheers!

I have just started using it myself. Heats up leftovers well and quickly. I'm not sur how it would do with a potatoe. Might be best to micro those.

Sure, it will work great. You could add a tbls of milk too to make potatoes looser. If it were me I would mix the milk and cream powder before adding to potatoes so you don't overmix the potatoes. Overmixing would be a big mistake and a common one.

I have used this on potatoes and it worked great. The only issue is the size and shape of the potatoes. If they are abnormally shaped, very small or very large, it won't work. I had a very large potato that almost didn't fit and one that was a bit crazy shaped that didn't work.

There seems to be no problem of sticking. If I load too many/much potato it get messy, But my wife lets me rice potatoes for our family dinners. They are very fluffy without that beat up feel from a mixer.

Yes. It does a dandy job with potatos. 3.5 qt is enough for mashed potato for four or five servings.

I used this for apples mainly. I wasn't impressed with the corer tho. It was a little clumsy I tried to peal a orange and almost broke it. For apple uncored it work great.

I tried sweet potatoes and it won't cut them. They are too hard. Big disappointment since I was really wanting sweet potato fries. Someone suggested I microwave them a bit first before trying to cut them. Haven't tried it. Regular potatoes work ok.
