ABSTRACT:
A spiral potato slicer is described herein comprising: a base; a carriage mounted on the base which may slide longitudinally along the base; a motor mounted on the carriage; a longitudinal threaded shaft connected to the motor, rotated by the motor, having a thread pitch of greater than about ten threads per inch, and having at least one stripped segment for limiting longitudinal motion of the shaft during rotation; a threaded shaft-engaging means mounted on the base and requiring a force applied by a user to maintain engagement of the threaded shaft; potato engaging means mounted on the second end of the shaft; and a radial cutting blade mounted on the base near the end of the base closest to the potato engaging means on the shaft. The combination of rotary and longitudinal motion produced by rotation of the threaded shaft results in slicing of the potato into a substantially continuous spiral sheet as the potato encounters the radial cutting blade. The pitch of the threaded shaft may be greater than about ten threads per inch so that the resulting substantially continuous spiral potato slice yields a spiral potato chip upon deep frying.
