My wife and I have been making the low fat french fries often. But it is a bit of a pain to cut up the potatoes. I have been looking at buying some sort of a cutter. My wife point out that she saw one at a Harbor Freight. HF is a tool store!?!?! I did some research on the french fry cutter they were selling, and it looked pretty cheap. It was under $10. But the reviews were poor. I continued looking, and found another beefier looking slicer. It sold between $30-$50. But still got poor reviews. I remembered seeing something about a french fry attachment for my KitchenAid food processor. I did a search. One of the complaints about it was that all your fries would be short stubby things due to the limits of the food tube on the top of the food processor.
I kind of a gave up, and continued cutting with my chef’s knife. But the other day I decided to look again. I looked on Amazon, and read more reviews. I found a french fry cutter for under $10, that actually have good reviews. The main compliant was that you couldn’t fit a whole potato through it at once. It’s called the Progressive International Vegetable/French Fry Cutter. Apparently you need to cut the potato down a little to fit into the cutter. I am okay with that. If it works well, we may be eating french fries more often! I’ll be sure to post how well this thing works.
