Potato slicers are much more than a handy tool for making tasty homemade chips. You can use them to slice various types of vegetables ranging from zucchini and cucumbers to carrots and tomatoes, or to slice fruit for making fruit salads. Some models come with various functions such as a spiralizer so you can make healthy pasta from vegetables, or with a salad shooter. The Presto 02970, for example, has a shredder function that makes it very easy to misread large quantities of cheese to add to dishes such as pizza.
