Question: Kitchen aid shredder/slicer attachment How does the shredder work on potatoes?
Document: I was thrilled to find another Kitchen Aid Slicer/Shredder Attachment for my mixer. I had been wanting to replace my 30 year old one for couple of years. I was able to find one through Amazon and I am now back in business. I love shredding my carrots, zucchini, and potatoes with the shredder and scalloped potatoes is a snap with the slicer. Life is good!
The Kitchen Aid Slicer/Shredder Attachment is so awesome, I am a very busy rancher, and with this product, it is easy to assemble, use and clean, so less time and work means more quality time with the family!!! !
If you have a kitchen-aid stand mixer this is a must have attachment!! It is pretty self explanatory as a slicer/shredder but man does it make light work of it all. The best part is that it is easy to use and easy to clean as well!! My wife really likes it because now I want to shred and slice everything when she is preparing a meal.
Don't know what in the world anyone would be complaining about! I use this attachment all the time. It makes quick work of shredding carrots, cabbage, slicing carrots, celery, potatoes (wonderful oven chips). It cleans easily, disassembles easily and when parts are nested, takes less space than a conventional shredder. It doesn't rust, nor do I expect it to. If you like to cook, this is a great addition to your kitchen arsenal. I wouldn't be without mine.
And the shredder-slicer doesn't make mush unless you aggressively over-feed the thing and don't clear it intelligently from time to time as you are working. Some of the negative reviews demonstrate how the population is being reduced to simpletons who can't figure anything out - everything has to be idiot-proofed. We shred cheese, make cole slaw, do all kinds of work with the Kithen-Aid attachment pack. Use it correctly and it will last forever and save you much labor.
I bought this Kitchen Aid Slicer Shredder Attachment for myself. It is a very handy tool set for the Kitchen Aid Mixer.
The Kitchen Aid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment works fantastic. I bought this attachment to go with my new stand mixer to replace my stand alone salad shooter that I've had and used for many years. This works as good as the salad shooter and only takes a few minutes to attach to the stand mixer. Since I don't have a huge kitchen, I knew I would only want one slicer/shredder.
I bought mine about 15 years ago, so I cannot comment on cheapening that Kitchen-Aid may or may not be guilty of in recent years. But I'm very happy with mine.It's to be used like a hand-held cheese grater - works great on shredding hard or medium-hard cheese, carrots, cooked potatoes for hash browns, things like that. I use the slicer cones for shredding cabbage (homemade coleslaw or sauerkraut), and for raw potatoes (scalloped or au-gratin).
This is the poorest excuse for a slicer/grater I have ever seen! It simply destroys things like potatoes and carrots. The cones are absolutely not sharp. I did get an e-mail reply from Kitchenaid which suggested that I return them to the place where I purchased them - fat chance when I got them in a set! They obviously know there is nothing they can do to make this attachment work - which is what I asked about - I thought maybe there was something I was doing wrong.
This attachment is terrific. It is easy to attach, easy to use and makes quick work of grateing  and slicing. Well worth  the cost. Kitchen Aid does it again!
Answer: I know your question was posted 9 months ago, but just in case anyone else is interested.....It works great on potatoes. I've used it many times to make latkes. It easily shreds potatoes. I haven't used the slicer on potatoes, but my guess would be that it would work just as well.
