how many potatoes will fit per use

I fit three to four average size baking potatoes in the bag and place it with the opening side down. It always works.

The cutter comes with two different cutting plates. regular plate cuts 25 fries and the small plate cuts 49. You may also be interested in that the size of potato that can be put into the cutter has to be under 4" x 2". Also getting the number of fries stated above will only be possible if you use a potato cut to fit the entire plate.

The number of fries that you can get from a potato is dependent on the size of the potato. The maximum length, however is limited to about 3 3/4 inches

Either plate would work for mashed potatoes. The plate with the smallest holes would make smoother and creamier potatoes.

I would guess weight capacity and space for about 10 lb. I have 5# potatoes, 2#onions, and 2-3# sweet potatoes.

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 am fairly certain they would hold 10 lbs of potatoes easily. I use mine for bird seed and an 8 lb bag of niger seed fills half of one bin...so even with the bulkier potatoes I would imagine there would be plenty of room.

I've done about 5 at a time. I don't think many more will fit. I use fairly large heads of garlic, so the cloves are large. I suppose you might be able to do more if you use small heads.

A 10# bag would probably fit, but it might be close... if you get them to store potatoes, you should know they're not completely opaque, meaning some light will get through to your taters, which do better when stored in the dark - maybe you could spray paint the outside, though?

I've done it before. Use a half cup of water per bowl and the potatoes, then separate using a strainer. Mix half an onion per bowl along with the potatoes mix a little garlic too. Use granulated garlic after separating the water and potatoes, salt and pepper too.

You will need at least two and maybe more. My service for 8 just barely fits with just a few serving items. You want to be able to fold over the edges to keep air from seeping in. Doris

8 or 9, but don't expect it to cut the time in half. The potatoes turn out more moist and don't seem to shrivel up.

I cut the potato in smaller pieces and fit several in at a time. Make sure potatoes are cooked fork tender. I found it very easy to use and didn't require a lot of muscle.

I just bought this one big one, and it can fit about 6 cubed potatoes after you sit the insert in it. You can definitely fit all the veg you need for a family of four in it. As for rice, the insert doesn't go it in, so you can make a lot.

Would be large enough for a side dish - like potatoes or broccoli - but not big enough for two people for a main dish.

Actually I don't know what the theoretical limit is, but I have successfully and easily sliced up an 6 inch Russet after I mounted it to a wooden stand using the 3/8" cutter which is a pretty good sized potato.

We used some very large idaho potatoes from costco but we had to cut them into chuncks. You will also need to mount it very securely as it requires a lot of force to puch the potato through.
