![]() He insisted on keeping the waffle maker even though he doesn't use it. one he didn't use, and has not used the smaller one either. He insisted on getting a small crockpot even though he already had a 6 qt. I seriously doubt he will get much use out of the mandoline. He's totally unfamiliar with any kitchen gadgets. I did find out that there is a guard on the mandoline, my dad just didn't recognize what it was. So even if dad doesn't like it, I might end up using the salad shooter. size.) And my mandoline I don't use because it slices uber thin and is not adjustable. The food processor is just about finished due to the plastic bowl cracking and breaking (not really due to excessive wear and tear either, just not very sturdy vs. I have a small food processor and a mandoline. But if he expresses an interest in wanting to peel and slice potatoes, that is at least something so to find a way to make that possible for him to do safely would be great! That's why I never make them for him, he almost always has a batch in the fridge anyway. He's actually kind of obsessed with scalloped potatoes, as he has an aide who makes them for him, neighbors make them for him, and he goes to monthly potlucks and comes home with leftovers of them. It's been very difficult to get him to do anything due to depression which he refuses treatment for. But he only peels potatoes, and he does need something made for shaky hands.Īs to DC's point, my dad does need things to do, and making scalloped potatoes is ONE thing he thinks he might like to try.

I have a food processor and even I don't use it for potato slices. ![]() Mine (Breville) has an adjustable thickness on its slicing blade, but there may be others that have that too for a better price. Otherwise, your best bet would be a food processor. I don't do a lot of potatoes, so that's a reasonable possibility. Perhaps there are some kinds of potatoes which are softer for slicing. If the potatoes are cooked through, but still firm (hard to get so that the center isn't hard), any of them would work. ![]() What all these have in common is needing a lot of hand strength for slicing raw potatoes. I wouldn't want to pay for one just for scalloped potatoes. I have a DeBuyer stainless real deal mandoline, which is big and heavy and indestructible, but is a bear to clean because it's so big and heavy, and it needs to be shifted a lot as slices pile up. The Kyocera paddle mandoline has a very sharp ceramic blade and is really easy to use on top of a mixing bowl, and while not as durable as the OXO, it shouldn't break. The OXO folding mandoline is plastic, but not the easy to break kind. ![]()
