Will this work for sweet potato french fries?

Yes, I make sweet potato fries often. I am going to try rutabaga fries next just for fun.

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.

Shoestring fries are considered to be 1/4" by 1/4" in size, so yes, it does make shoestring style fries.

The manufacturer states that this item works for there French Fry machines and can not say if they would fit other cutters in there class.

It does not have thickness options and it probably would not slice thin enough for potato crisps. I would suggest a mandolin for that.

I have not tried it, but it grates carrots very well, so it should work fine. You would just have to cut the sweet potato into thinner pieces to fit. I use the red one for carrots, as I find the orange one to grate them too small.

Sure.. it will work fine. Pretend you're making potato chips. Cut them about 1/8" thick and lay them out on the trays. You can do thicker but it takes longer and you risk case hardening. ( Basically the outside dries too fast and traps in the interior moisture. ) Dry them slowly at a low temp first to get most of the moisture out and then a higher temp ( 140 F ) to finish them up.

I would say no, designed for water, broths etc. would be very careful using oil in it, rubber O-rings. Look for a deep fryer..

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!

If you wanted to make chips this will do a great job. As for fries, these slicers do not have the blades as I have seen on other slicers to cut them into strips. I guess you could cut them into big chips and then cut them again into strips.

I have used beef tallow to fry french fries and it worked just fine. Just make sure the tallow is rendered.

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.

Yes . It works great for items that a meant to be fried but cooks with any need for oil and taste good.. I try this with French fries and taste great without the oil.. Works great on chicken, Pork chops, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders.

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

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

The opening is approx 2 1/2 inches.... if you had longer , narrower potatoes it would probably work well.

It's a food processor, so no to the fries. However you could do potato chip slices or wavy.

It will be to tight for tator tots, they will squish. It could work with fries depending on how thick they are. The basket is flexible for thicker foods, but the food will stick in basket. The fries should be oiled to prevent sticking.
