Has anyone used it to make sweet potato chips? How are they?

I just made sweet potato chips yesterday. I sliced them as thinly as I could, rubbed olive oil on them, and sprinkled some with sea salt and some with cinnamon. I dried them for about 11 hours, I think. They're pretty good, but I think that if I could have gotten them thinner they might have been better. They're very crunchy, but "hard" crunchy. This might be the norm for sweet potato chips, as packaged ones I've had are certainly harder than potato chips. I'm going to look for suggestions for better results, but I think this was a successful first try.

Yes, I have. It works wonderfully. It is the best processor! I absolutely, 100% love this machine. I think everyone should own one, it's that good!

I cannot imagine getting it out for one potato. I made several batches of cherry tomatoes into sauce this year. I have also used it for grapes, apples, etc. The point of the mill is that skin, seeds, pits and the likes stay in the mill while the rest is passed through. And it is great for that and for saving time.

For carrots it works, since they have not as large a diameter as sweet potatoes. I have used this a couple of times for carrots and cucumber. For sweet potatoes I would think it takes a huge effort of force - so you have to be very strong - and they might get mashed. But I have not tried this.

A sweet potato is pretty dense. It does work best if you use the blade for apples. The others scare me like they will break from pushing down so hard.

thanks for your reply. do I understand correctly that this cuisinart does not come with either a 1 or 2 mm slicer? and, that the tube is not large enogh to put in a whole potato? some of the reviews indicate you can put in a whole potato? is a 2mm slicer thin enough for potato chips? I appreciate your reply

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.

Works great on potatoes, did 40 pounds for a funeral dinner and they were great. There are some little shreds that happen but it just made the roaster of scalloped potatoes better. Yummo

I made two sweet potatoes, and it worked very well. You need to follow the directions. I am pleased with the toaster oven.

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.

Haven't tried that. We do use sensor for baked potatoes & sweet potatoes, and it does a great job.

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 would say that it is likely it will take care of it pretty easily. I haven't done sweet potatoes w the spiralizer yet though. You might also check out this spiralizer. GEFU Spiralfix Spiral Cutter I would be more likely to give this route a try given another chance. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwVhBOWUV0&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

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 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, it can be used for sweet potatoes. There is a recipe book that accompanies the pet treat maker, or you can use your own recipes.

Yes I have used it and the tacos are very crisp and good. I am on weight watchers and was looking to shave some calories. I love tacos and the crispness but not the fat content. They do not make exactly uniform shells so if you are storing them for a long time it is a bit difficult. I absolutely love mine though. I used raw tortillas.
