Have not tried this yet. The Breville has met all of the other tasks that I have tried. It is a good machine.

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!

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.

Yes it did a lovely job. But the more rustic setting has become our new favorite. Love the machine. It has it limitations,but if you don't try and force too big or too hard (frozen meats) or items, it fabulously . We have used the potato attachment on cooked: cauliflower, parsnips, sweet potatoes and carrots. It works so quickly you have to take care not to over work the veggies.

It does a great job in mashing potatoes. If you are only making a small amount a hand mixer would do just fine.

The slicer shredder has a much bigger cup capasity and runs on the lower rpm motor. Its perfect for slicing cheese without tearing it to bits. The slicer shredder also comes with an extra blade for French fries. If you make a few cuts in your potatoes and then run it through the slicer it will also cube your food for you. The food processor is smaller and runs on the higher rpm motor where your blender runs. Its good for veggies and very hard meats. I tried slicing pepperoni and cheese in the food processor. It did slice it but it also tore much of it to bits and i didnt like that much waste. Its perfect for say casseroles and salsas or other foods that won't be on display and has to be perfect. I use the slicer shredder for making meat trays and foods that i need to look a certain way and can't use if its deformed. They are bth very useful and important in their own way. I hope this helped you

I never used it for potatoes, but my son who is a mechanical engineer says that it is very well-designed. It works great for Super thick spatzle dough so I'm sure it could handle a cooked potato.

Yes, it shreds cauliflower beautifully to make caulirice. I make it at least once a week.

I've never made pancakes on it. I've browned butter, made some great fish dishes. I suspect pancakes would be a lot better than on a regular electric top.

Seems we're all desperate for an answer to this question. I just purchased an 11-cup Cuisinart food processor and would love to be able to make potato chips with it. I guess I will have to call Cuisinart to find out. But, according to other reviews about Cuisinart products, their customer service is dismal, so it might take a while to get an answer. I'll let you know if I find out.

I have used the mixer on cookie dough w/great success so mashed potatoes will be a snap. great product!!

Yes! I absolutely LOVE this potato grater. It's very easy to use and very easy to clean. My husbands father is Lithuanian and I bought this to make Kuglis for my husband. I have used it several times and it works great.

Answer by S Bryson is spot-on....the shredding blade is great for hash browns, shredded cheese, carrots etc... the slicing blade is great for fried potatoes, sliced veggies (hard ones) not so much for soft ones like tomatoes.... we use this blade for making sauerkraut..it just blasts through a ton of cabbage in short order......the dough blade is great for kneading bread or mixing the lightest scone batter....the metal blade can chop nuts by pulsing, or make nut butters by constant running.....we are very pleased with out Cuisinart. I have had three and each one was bigger than the last..AND they all still work....play with it and enjoy!!

It has a pulse and run speed, a disk blade that slices on one side and grates on the other and a chopper blade. I haven't tried the slicer blade with potatoes but where you feed the food in is rather small and a potato would likely have to be quartered before it could be fed into the food processor. I don't think it would be good for that purpose.

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.

The 2mm will slice them twice as thin as the 4mm (the one that comes w/Cuisinart) but I thought I read somewhere that it wasn't quite thin enough and the person was disappointed for making chips. It would definitely work though, just that the potato chips would be a little thicker, depends on your personal preference. The 2mm is wonderful for scalloped potatoes.

I would say yes. However, when we make pancakes we use a rectangular electric griddle. It's my opinion that this is a frying pan. I use it to make extra-crispy raw fried potatoes.
