Not made for sweet potatoes.September 30, 2005 Debra Mcnulty(Minneapolis, MN) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
We've been eating more sweet potatoes and yams as healthy alternative to white potatoes. Usually I slice them and drizzle with olive oil and bake, so I thought slicing them as fries would be more appealing to kids (and less expensive than the frozen ones at the health food co-op). I used this disc in my Cuisinart Prep 11 plus. It turns out that yams and sweet potatoes are alot more firm than white potatoes. The light gold colored ones sliced up a little better than the dark red ones, but both colors were a bit of a hassle, getting stuck in the blade and jamming it up. Works great on white potatoes though, and I'm looking forward to using it on other vegetables for stir fries and salads.

The disk makes really cute slightly curved (due to blade rotation) french fries. Good quality, easy to use product.
