Best mandoline slicer for potatoes: scalloped and chip picks 2026

OXO Tabletop's wide ramp comfortably accommodates large russet potatoes and wide Yukon Golds. The dial set at 1.5 mm to 2 mm produces thin chip slices for oven-baked potato chips or frying. At 2.5 mm to 3 mm, the slices hold up through 60 minutes in cream sauce for scalloped potatoes or gratin. At 9 mm, thick potato rounds work for potato stacks or thick hash. The rubber feet prevent the unit from slipping forward when pushing firm starchy potato through the blade.

Swissmar Borner V-4000's wavy blade insert produces ridged potato slices for wavy chips. The straight thick insert produces slices at the scalloped potato thickness. The straight thin insert produces slices at the chip thickness. The V-frame center blade cuts potato from both sides simultaneously, which produces a clean potato round without the edge drag that can cause uneven chip edges on flat-blade models.

Benriner No.64's 2 mm julienne insert produces the finest matchstick potato cut available from a home mandoline. At 2 mm, potato matchsticks are thinner than standard shoestring fries (which are typically 3 mm to 4 mm). These fine potato shreds fry in 2 to 3 minutes at 350 degrees F and produce very crispy thin fries. The 6 mm julienne insert produces thicker matchsticks for standard shoestring fries and potato nests. The narrow ramp requires potato to be cut in half lengthwise before slicing.

de Buyer Kobra's stainless steel blade holds its edge longer than plastic-frame budget mandoline blades under repeated use on hard starchy potatoes. The 0.3 mm to 8 mm range in 0.5 mm increments provides precise scalloped-potato thickness and chip thickness settings. The stainless frame does not flex under the pressure of pushing a large russet potato, which prevents the uneven blade gap that develops in plastic frames when used under high pressure.
