Frequently asked questions
Can a mandoline cut French fries?
Yes, with a thick julienne or fry blade. It cuts even batons far faster than a knife, which helps fries cook uniformly. Use the food holder for the hard potato.
What size cut is best for fries?
Around 8 to 10mm batons suit classic fries; thinner for shoestring. A dedicated fry insert or a thick julienne blade gives the even size you want.
