While my household has collectively upgraded our burger skills over the course of many dinners, I realized one day recently that my fries were still lacking. For example, if you wish to change the cut type on a Vollrath fry cutter, you will need to purchase a Vollrath blade set and push block.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. By pairing the correct blade set and push block from your fry cutter's manufacturer you can change a 1/4" straight cutter to a 6 wedge cutter or just about any other available cut type. The attachment has mixed reviews, with some users reporting difficulty with the blade getting stuck or not cutting evenly. Additionally, we found that the plastic pusher part can be difficult to replace, but this is a minor issue that doesn’t detract from the overall quality of the cutter.

Despite all the fabulous potato preparations out there—and they’re literally all good, every single one of them—I’m sure you’ll find it shocking (or not, if you behold my gut) when I join the rest of America and disclose that I just fucking love french fries. While it is a convenient option for those who already own a KitchenAid mixer, it may not be the most efficient way to cut potatoes. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a beginner in the kitchen, our list has options for everyone. We simply placed the potato in the press and pushed the handle down, and we had perfectly uniform fries every time.

If you’re planning to use it frequently or for large batches, you’ll want a larger cutter that can handle more potatoes at once.However, using a knife to cut potatoes into uniform strips can be a tedious and time-consuming task. We also found that it required some effort to push through thicker potatoes, but this is to be expected with a handheld cutter. It can handle a wide range of vegetables, including sweet potatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants, making it a great tool for any kitchen. Its durable stainless steel blades can handle the denser texture of sweet potatoes, producing even cuts every time. This guide will teach you how to cut french fries while determining the best french fry cutter for your application.

I figured I should get the three-eighths-of-an-inch size, since half-inch fries felt like something I could probably do by hand. Sweet potatoes are denser than regular potatoes, so it’s important to find a French fry cutter that can handle the extra toughness.Most fry cutters need to be mounted to a countertop, wall, or heavy cutting board before they can be used, but some kitchens don't have the available counter space to do this.
