Is it good for sweet potatoes?

It works fine for sweet potatoes. The key is mounting it solidly to a wall so that you can put maximum torque on the Levert without fear of it coming loose. If you do that it will cut through just about any spud workout issue. If it's a huge potatoe consider slicing in half.

Only if you want very thin matchstick type fries. I haven't actually used sweet potatoes but with regular white potatoes I cut them and they got smaller as they baked.

If you slice the zucchini the long way, the 'noodles' come out out long and thin, just like spaghetti. I have not tried it on sweet potatoes, because they're too high in carbs--but the blades do seem sharp enough to cut a sweet potato, if you put enough pressure on it.

I've sliced sweet potatoes and found it best to use smaller potatoes or cut them in half. You will have better control of the blade.

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.

Yes, according do Chris Kresser. It can be used for people who don't tolerate potato starch well. I've been using it for a couple of months mixed with water. It doesn't blend as easily as potato starch.

Yes, but it works a little easier if you square off the ends. If the potatoes are real firm it will give you a little exercise but it does work on sweet potatoes or yams.

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

if you don't do it too long or too fast, it will work for hash brown potatoes but not for cubed potatoes. This shreds things completely if you do it too fast. I found it doesn't do tomatoes or things with the squishy inside very well.

Idaho potatoes don't steam well at all because of their high starch content. I'd use red or true sweet potatoes. But for that type of potato I'd cut them into no less than 10 pieces. Steam for a minimum of 20 minutes using very little ventilation. (watch the steam water levels always) G

You know that is a very good question! I have not tried it. But I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work. I think that it could but I would be sure to prick the potato before starting.

I have never cooked a sweet potato in it. I cook ordinary potatoes with great results but it depends on the size of them. You need to experiment. For a large or two small, start with 4 minutes and if you need longer, then put them in to finish off.

You would need to slice them lengthwise, in order to be able to properly cut a sweet potato. Say, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Works great for them if they're not to thick.

I have used it in making Oatmeal and in making Creammed Sweet Potato and I use it in making coffee, I would have to answer yes. I'm not much of a baker however I have used it in attempting to make bread. If you could ever get over my " Bread" and stop laughing I think you would agree it did taste good. You can stop laughing now.

Yes. I have made sweet potato fries several times. I microwaved the sweet potato for 1 minute 20 seconds and after trimming it to fit on the machine it worked great. Note: I did use the larger opening blade for the fries, have not tried the smaller ones on a sweet potato yet. I am saving the the trimmed portion of the sweet potatoes in a freezer bag and will use them to make mashed sweet potatoes.

It works great. They come out the size of spaghetti and could be used for sweet potatoes but they will be thin

Not really. It does apples best. I did try potatoes but it wasn't great at it.
