Most people looking to cut potatoes, are doing it for Tornado Fries and Chip Twister potatoes. So most potato cutters you will find on the market are for matchstick type cuts, curly cuts, and thin slicers for scalloped potatoes. Many varieties of Ribbon potato cutters are available to meet your needs. There are lever type Spiral Potato cutters that push the potato/vegetable through a set of blades. Some of these are mounted to a wall so Spiral Fry potato slicer can drop the cut pieces off below for quicker cutting. This type of Twisted Chips cutter helps save significant amounts of time preparing potatoes to be cooked.
This is the same type of chipstix maker as above but it has an all-metal body construction. For serious restaurant quality potato cutters, this is going to be something you will need to withstand cutting a lot of potatoes. Since it is made of all metal, the parts will be more durable and be less prone to breaking. Here is another similar style to the Tornado Fries Machine above. The main difference with this one is that it has a box underneath to catch the cut potatotes. It is meant for quick cutting of a lot of potatoes into Spiral Potato or french fry chips. Many of these styles come with a catcher on the bottom so you don't make a mess of your kitchen.Note how the potatoes have to be pushed against the lever at an angle though, so this means your potatoes will have to be cut smaller to fit on this type of cutter. Very handy, but it does it a little bit differently from the one on top that can cut long fries.
