The Best French Fry Cutters (Review) in 2020

If you’re looking for truly durable and efficient potato slicer, you can’t get better than New Star Foodservice Commercial Grade French Fry Cutter. With a sturdy cast iron body, stainless steel rod and flexible design, this cutter is not only rust- and corrosion-resistant and therefore guaranteed to last for years, but also highly convenient as it can be both table or wall mounted. It slices and dices potatoes in 1/4 inch pieces with ease, although quite a bit of elbow grease is necessary to get started. That said, this is the case with most French fry cutters, so this is nothing out of the ordinary.

The machine is truly heavy-duty and stands up to the pressure of cutting through all kinds of potatoes, veggies and fruits with no issues. The suction cups are also very strong and hold it to a surface no matter how many potatoes you’re cutting or how much pressure you’re using. Cleaning is pretty easy, but since the machine is on the larger side, it can be a bit awkward to wash if you have a small sink. If you’d like a little more variety in fry cutting, there are additional accessories and back up parts available for purchase.

Compact and easy to use, the Culina French Fry Potato Cutter is ideal for beginners and folks who don’t want to bother with a bunch extra accessories and parts. With two interchangeable blades, the machine cuts fries efficiently and evenly, either in a regular French fry shape and size or thinner. Thanks to the curved shape on the lower part of the cutter, fitting the potatoes is easy, however, if you’re working with really big spuds, you may have to cut them in halves to fit them in the slicer. Besides potatoes, you can also slice other veggies with this cutter, including zucchini, radishes, apples and more.

The body of Culina fry cutter is made of smooth, durable plastic, while the lever and blades are stainless steel. It comes with a strong suction on the bottom which keeps it steady on any flat surface. Conveniently, it’s also easy to clean as all you have to do is rinse it and drain dry.

The Sopito Professional French Fry Cutter offers the best of both worlds – it’s compact like regular kitchen appliances so it doesn’t take up much space, but it’s also top-grade with sharp and durable blades that make cutting loads of potatoes and other veggies a piece of cake. The machine is made of stainless steel, with a restaurant-grade blade so it’s sturdy and durable as they come. Its handle has an ergonomic design, which makes cutting the fries easy and almost effortless. Thankfully, the cutter box is large enough to fit most potatoes (5.58 x 3.51”), so cutting the veggies is usually not necessary. Besides potatoes and sweet potatoes, you can also slice cucumbers, zucchinis, apples, carrots and other fruits and veggies here, as the Sopito French fry slicer cuts everything in ½”.

While the entire machine is of excellent quality, the Sopito’s biggest selling point is probably its restaurant-grade blade. Robust and sharp, this blade is engineered to withstand years of regular use. It’s sturdy so it shouldn’t break or bend no matter how many times it’s been used. And while it works similarly to commercial fry cutters, it’s much smaller so it doesn’t take up much space.

Affordable and easy to use, the Prepworks by Progressive is a good choice if you’re on a tight budget. This versatile kitchen tool is great not only for making fries, but also for slicing carrots, apples, cucumbers and more. There are two sets of blades, where one has 25 holes for larger fries and the other one has 49 holes for smaller fries. All you need to do is place a veggie inside the cutter box and push the lever to cut it – that’s it. Very simple and fast. That said, quite a lot of elbow grease is necessary to push the harder potatoes like sweet potatoes through. Also, since the cutter box is on the smaller side, you may need to cut the larger vegetables and fruits in half in order to fit them.

The Prepworks has a plastic body that is quite sturdy, metal lever and stainless steel blades that are resistant to rust and corrosion. This also makes it easy to wash as you can just rinse it with warm water and drain dry it.

Looking for an ultra-durable potato slicer for French fries? Weston’s French Fry Cutter is a fantastic choice. With a heavy-duty cast iron construction and stainless steel cutting blades, the model makes meal prep quick and easy. It cuts through all kinds of potatoes with ease and does a great job slicing other veggies and fruits too, including carrots, zucchini, apples and more. The cutter fits potatoes up to 6-inches long, and cuts them into handsome 3/8” French fries. For ideal fries, the manufacturer advises leaving the freshly cut potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes before frying or baking.

The Weston fry cutter comes with strong suction feet for countertop use, but there is also a permanent wall mount option as well. The handle is quite long for easy pushing, but cutting through harder potatoes like sweet potatoes does require quite a bit of strength. That said, the unit is actually easier to use than most as the restaurant-grade blades are very sharp and efficient at cutting the produce.

With four different blades and durable iron and stainless steel construction, the Goplus French Fry Cutter is one of the best ones on the market. Sizes of the blades include 1/2″, 1/4″ and 3/8” and 8-cut so almost any fruit or veggie is a good choice for this unit: potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, carrots, cucumbers, eggplants and so much more. All blades are made of 304 stainless steel, so they’re rust and corrosion resistant, easy to wash. The body is heavy-duty iron with an aluminum alloy handle, so the whole cutter should last for years, even with daily use. Speaking of the handle, it’s designed ergonomically, making cutting pounds of potatoes pretty quick and easy.

The Goplus slicer is stable and easy to use thanks to its sturdy legs that can be mounted both on the wall or placed on a countertop or any other flat surface. While efficient at cutting loads of produce, the cutter doesn’t take up much space. It’s also easy to clean with just water.

Stable, versatile and reasonably priced, the Tiger Chef’s French Fry Cutter is perfect for first-time buyers. This slicer cuts various foods easily and quickly – from potatoes and sweet potatoes, to cucumbers, carrots and apples – minimizing prep time for French fries, soups, salads and other meals. It comes with a ratchet-style pusher that moves food quickly through the sharp blades. Speaking of which, there are two interchangeable stainless steel blades, one with 25 holes, other with 45, and both evenly cut or dice pretty much any veggie or fruit you can think of.

The Tiger Chef has anti-slip rubber feet which help keep it stable on any flat surface, so using it is fairly easy (it does take quite a bit of effort to cut the veggies though). As a huge bonus, the entire unit is dishwasher safe, so there’s no need to waste time hand-washing anything here. However, if you prefer manually washing your cutter, you certainly can (units do tend to last longer when hand-washed), as the slicer comes with a handy cleaning brush.

The Westmark French Fry Cutter is a German-engineered potato slicer that comes with three different inserts for three different sizes to cut. One blade measures 9x9mm, another 10x10mm and the third one 12x12mm (the bigger the measurement of an insert, the smaller the fries will be). Multiple inserts allow for cutting different sizes of various foods, including potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, apples and more, minimizing prep time for various dishes, including salads, stews, soups and of course French fries.

The cutter has an ABS plastic base and handle, and stainless steel blades that are rust and corrosion resistant. This makes the unit easy to wash as you can clean it with just water, not worrying about rust or corrosion. To ensure proper stability, the Westmark cutter comes with rubber suction on the bottom, which allows for a tight and secure hold on any flat surface. The only minus is the size of the cutter box – it’s on the smaller size, so if you’re working with big potatoes and veggies, you’ll need to cut them in half before placing them in the slicer.
