Can this item make sweet potato fries?

It has a matchstick size and french fry size strip cutter, so I think it can. It does not have a waffle cutter, if that is what you are thinking about.

Yes I've used it for sweet potatoes. Some can be really big like potatoes so you just have to cut it down to fit.

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.

We do often do sweet potatoes, but have done them a few times and yes it does work well. I love mine so much I bought one for my brother. I'm sure you will enjoy yours.

Unequivocally NO. That would be dangerous. You need an actual pressure fryer to do this. And they are available. Do a Google search (or Amazon).

Why do people answer if they never tried? I have cooked potato fries and it came out perfect. Just use oil. Maybe even toss raw potatoes in oil first then cook. Works great for grilled vegetables doing the same way.

The cutting blades are about 3 1\4 inches square, so you can cut a pretty big potato with this unit. Overall it is a very nice heavy duty unit with four blade sizes. Keep in mind these type of slicers work great for potatoes or carrots but not really made to cut sweet potatoes. So I would say nearly all potatoes would fit this cutter just fine. If you had some really gigantic size potatoes you could cut them in half and run them through the slicer.

Definitely! I've used it to slide butternut squash for fries. It was a little difficult at times, but lemons & limes should be easy peazy!

Definitely makes fries, fried chicken, and chicken fried steak. I don't know about donuts, but I don't see why not.

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.

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.

You can, but just add your choice of cooking oil! I heat up the oil a little at first. Be careful to pat the potatoes dry before putting them in the pan with the oil so they won't splatter, and watch over them as you fry. I have the Presto Electric folding fryer, and I have fried breaded chicken cutlets in oil, and they come out moist and delicious. I have also made French fries very successfully. Good luck!

Not 100% sure , but manual states you can make crispy French fries with it. So I think so.

No, French Fries only. You can get a slicer attachment for your Kitchen Aid if you have one. Mine does a great job!

Of course it will. Use it in the slicing (or wavy slicer) position and you can slice raw sweet potatoes just fine. They're a little bit too hard to use the julienne disc, however.
