How to Cube Potatoes With a Mandoline Slicer
Cubing potatoes is a great way to ensure that they are seasoned as much as possible. This is particularly important if you are intending to sauté the potatoes in a frying pan. While it is possible to cube potatoes with a knife, to get uniform, restaurant-quality potato cubes, you should use a mandoline slicer. Mandoline slicers have incrementally adjustable blades, meaning you can get almost any size potato cube you want.
Instructions
-
Adjust the cutting blade depending on what size potato cube you want. Aim to make the cubes at least 1/8-inch thick; otherwise the potatoes may disintegrate during cooking.
-
Using the hand guard, push the potato lengthwise over the mandoline's blade. The slices of potato will be caught in the holder beneath the blade.
-
Take out the slices and re-form them into the original shape of the potato. Run the potato through the slicer again, this time on its side at a 90-degree angle to the first time. Your potato should now be cut into even strips.
-
Reform the potato once again and run it through the slicer a final time, pushing the strips of potato vertically through the blade. Uniform potato cubes will be collected in the mandoline's holder.
