How Commercial Potato & Vegetable Chippers Work

Ever wondered how these kitchen marvels deliver perfect chips every time? Commercial potato chippers use a simple but brilliant mechanism—a sturdy handle connects to a block with sharp blades arranged in grids. When you push the handle down, it forces potatoes or veg through these blades, creating uniform cuts in one swift motion. Most models feature interchangeable blade sets (typically 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm) for different chip thicknesses. The heavy-duty construction handles dense root vegetables with ease, while wall or counter-mounting options provide stability during operation. It's beautifully straightforward—pop in your prepped potato, pull the lever, and out come perfect chips ready for the fryer!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Potato & Vegetable Chippers

For chip perfection, always prep your potatoes properly—wash thoroughly and peel if desired. Cut larger potatoes in half so they fit the chipper chamber properly. Lubricate moving parts monthly with food-grade oil to keep the action smooth, and sharpen or replace blades when you notice resistance increasing. After service, clean thoroughly, especially if cutting sweet potatoes which tend to stick. For extra crispy chips, consider using a chip scrubber after cutting to remove excess starch.
