Sweet Potatoes questions
Can a potato fry line also run sweet potatoes?
Often yes, with adjusted peeling, cutting and blanching settings. Sweet potatoes are more irregular, so trimming and inspection matter more.
Are wedge cuts possible?
Yes. The water-knife cutter can make strips and wedges, depending on the knife assembly.
