You are a French fry Eating machine!?
What kind of a cutter do you have?
The only thing I can find around here is plastic POS.
I know I could use a knife but I’m to lazy!

How can you tell??

Actually, if you follow along, I eat a variety of taters. Just this past week, we've had fries, roasted, baked & mashed with the various entrees I've posted.

For fries, we use a thingie that is at least 50 years old. It's identical to this one -- a Ron Popeil original called a Dial-O-Matic. My bride says she paid about $2.98 for it.

Here is one on eBay for $25 -- touted as a collector's item.

Jesus outdoor, you must eat a lot!

I actually eat only one major meal per day for the most part. Sometimes I'll have a breakfast/brunch on a weekend. If I do that, tho, I usually go lighter for dinner with soup & sandwich or such. During the day, I might snack on pretzels, chips, etc., however.

Sooo...other than my snacks, what you see posted here are my basic everyday menu items.

I should have mentioned the other type of fry cutter we once had a long way back. It somehow got lost when we moved back to Phx from CO in 1979. It was a really heavy duty commercial one that I bought at a garage sale for $10, but new ones are somewhat costly.
These are the type...

Commercial French Fry Cutters

If you run a fast food restaurant or eatery that features fries or potatoes as a favorite side, a potato cutter is a smart investment. Choose manual commercial french fry cutters for low-volume needs or motorized models for high-volume output. Constr
