does it work for making potato chips?

Unfortunately it will not slice potatoes thin enough for potato chips, you should consider a different device for that purpose.

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.

Yes it worked, after a couple hours you have to add new soaked wood chips for longer cooking sessions.

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.

It'll seal Mylar bags and it'll even reseal a potato chip bag stronger than the factory seal so I don't see why not. It has a low and higher heat setting but no timer so you'll have to wing it and experiment a bit so you know what is too little or too much.

It makes very thin potato slices. This was a gift for my daughter in law and she said it saves her so much time as she cooks for six. Potato chips are the main thing she uses it for.

NO! I liked it for potatoes, you have to add a little water to it which softens the peel. I loved it but extremely noisy.. I can't peel anything anymore so this was good so Long as I uses it before anyone got home. It broke apart after a few months use due to overly large potatoes. The washers bent and broke apart inside the machine.

I am really not sure. But, I don't think I would use it to make potato bread with it. I think the end result would come out very dense or heavy.

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.

No but it comes with a larger (big foot) attachment it is larger than the one shown in the pic attached to the blender, it should be able to handle potatoes

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 :)

I believe at the answer would be no. I takes strength to cut the potato. We use it to cut jalapenos, onions and other smaller vegetables. Works fine for the smaller vegetables.

It's for the short way. Potatoes don't work well with this one from my experience. It works great for the softer veggies like squash and onions

No, not really--it makes chips. It crisps things up without using oil. We use them to make a healthier potato chip.

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 don't think you will get the results. When it grates a potato there are always the last slice of potato stuck in the machine. If you are pouring in a gallon of nuts and aren't too picky it would probably do a fair job. I have some almonds, I will give it a try later, ask me again tomorrow or later. I love this attachment set, we have them all, This one stays in the mixing bowl . Will grate potatoes for hash browns to die for. Grates up cheese, omg. If you don't have these attachments for your mixer your missing out.

not really, but all you do is slice the veg. as thin as you can and place on the tray. Do not put 2 in the microwave, it does not work as well. Put on high for 3 to 4 minutes, keep looking to check for the item getting brown. Also a note, if you are ,making potato chips, add a little sea salt before you cook, it is great.
