Will it cut sweet potatoes?

Yes. This cuts carrots and they are much harder than sweet potatoes. It cuts a veggie platter quickly but wont cut green peppers. It does cucumbers and carrots beautifully and any kind of potatoes! I love my cutter!

I haven't tried, but am pretty suure it woud not cut a raw one. Perhaps if it were microwaved briefly.

I don't think so. In fact, I was able to break one of the blade assemblies by forcing a regular potato through it. The manufacturer replaced it under warranty, but cautioned me that it would be advisable to square off the end of the potato to equalize the pressure the blades see. That seems to have worked.

I very much doubt it, it won't cut a larger potato unless you cut it in half.

No I think sweet potatoes would be to hard. I used mine to make slaw. We sheredded up cabbage, carrots, and onions.

Works good for regular potatoes. Not so good for sweet potatoes. works good for the price. I think if I needed a new one I would get something a little more durable that provided some leverage to make it easier to doo harder things like sweet potatoes. I find it works best with larger potatoes that will not move while you are cutting them.

I can definitely say it's strong and sharp enough to cut through a potato. The only issue would be that you'd have to use either smaller potatoes in general, or go through the tedium of double-cutting, lining up the cutter with subsequent cuts if the potato is too large. Strength/sharpness have not been an issue at all with this fun little tool!

Hi there ! Yes it will but ... , for just the relatively small device (if you're thinking about potatoes, which are hard to cut anyway) I suggest you to buy bigger mandoline cutter, like Bron . MIU http://reviews.chefscatalog.com/8855/26141/chefs-commercial-stainless-steel-mandoline-slicer-reviews/reviews.htm Look at Bron Original Stainless Steel Mandoline Slicer -&gt; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bron-Original-Stainless-Steel-Mandoline-Slicer-/230984272926?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c7bc4c1e - something like that. beside, you have a lot of video on YouTube to choose from. You have to be prepared to send around 160 dollars. Good luck !

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.

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.

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.

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 do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

It should. We have only used it to make fried potatoes and it works great! Better than I thought it would. There's so many attachments, it should do about anything. We really like it.

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.

Yes. Depending on what cup or blade you use. I've done russets and red potatoes, carrots, but Onions are a a bit messy due to their layers. Cut a sweet potato and if it cuts fairly easy, you will have no problem. If it is too hard, boil them a little to soften them up some. Never cut a yam with it though.

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.

I have cut sweet potatoes with mine. However, I would suggest having it bolted solid on a wall or counter. You will really have to put some muscle behind it. I would recommend using a 70 count or smaller potato. The case of 50 count potatoes I cut was hard on the shoulders.

the motor does NOT seem as strong as their older models. I think sweet potatoes would be a challenge and by the time you are done cutting them into strips to fit machine, you might as well finish the job with the knife. I wished i had returned my new poster in a timely manner. the unit i would give an over OK but not a GREAT like the older model that i simply wore out after 20 years.

I would not recommend this product for potatoes. I would suggest a mandolin
