I am thinking this might be good for making homemade white and sweet potato chips. I know sweet potatoes are harder than white. Will it work for this

this is a strong good machine and works great. but i don't know how the shape of the potato will look like or is it going to be very small for chips. it will shred the potato no problem bc it does the carrots very well. hope this helps :)

I have used it for sweet and white, red potatoes you need to cut the potatoes to cut to fit the shoot size 1 1/2 X 2 1/4. I use it to slice potatoes for frying works good and so easy and fast. The larger Pesto shooter would be bigger if you really want bigger chips. I like this small one as don't have a lot of space to keep it in. I just love mine, best little tool for what it does.

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.

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.

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

Sure, it will work great. You could add a tbls of milk too to make potatoes looser. If it were me I would mix the milk and cream powder before adding to potatoes so you don't overmix the potatoes. Overmixing would be a big mistake and a common one.

My husband has chopped potatoes with this for French fries, but honestly I don't think I would have enough strength to do that. Other than that I nearly use it every day for chopping. I love it!

As far as I know this is only for microwaves as it is plastic. But if you have a really small microwave it won't work well. When the turntable on your microwave attempts to turn it can't turn the chip maker. And the microwave door won't close well either. Make sure you have a larger microwave to accommodate this item. But it did make pretty tasty chips for us---although it does take a while, but worth the time. And you'll want a slicer to slice your potatoes thin.

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.

It depends on how fresh the potato is. Very large hard potatoes can be a bit difficult but if you are strong it is okay. They do make wonderful fries. A man would have no problems.

I think you would have to cut the potato in half lengthwise to make it work. Don't think it would work well with potato

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.

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 to make potato dumplings. I boiled some white potatoes, cut them into disks, and ran them through the food mill to mix with flour. I formed the potato/flour mixture into dumplings.

- I used it to fix chips in my white sink which worked but a whole stove top would be difficult

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

Probably too fine for potato, haven't tried yet but I have a lot of experience with potatoes and this is probably just too thin. It would likely just shred too inconsistently as the plane would get clogged with the starchy flesh.

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.

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