Make A French Fry Cutter







French fries are made by slicing a fresh potato. This means that you can make your own french fries at home. However, you will need to have a slicer or cutter to make the fries. You can buy a french fry cutter at a store, but to save time and money you can make one yourself. This can be done by using items already in your kitchen, such as a meat press or an apple slicer.


Instructions


Meat Press


1. Set the meat press on the counter where you want to make the french fries.


2. Lift the handle of the meat press and set the potato in the bucket.


3. Pull the handle down to force the potato through the metal grate on the bottom of the bucket.








4. Remove the excess potato from the bucket. Place another potato in the bucket and then pull the handle down. Continue pressing potatoes until you have the required amount of french fries.


Apple Slicer


5. Cut the tip from both ends of the potato with the knife to create a flat edge.


6. Set the potato perpendicular to the counter.


7. Place the apple slicer over the top of the potato.


8. Press down on the apple slicer to create french fry wedges.


9. Repeat this process to make the amount of french fry wedges that are needed.
