Guest guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I haven't tried potatoes but for the first time yesterday, I chopped cabbage for a coleslaw (wet chopping method). Holy cow, I only pulsed it twice and it was chopped more than I had planned. One pulse would have done it. I'm not sure what it would do with potato! Let us know if you try it! > > Can you grate potatoes in a Vita Mix? I have a recipe for potato pancakes I would like to try but don't want potato mush. Is this a job for my food processor? Thanks. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I thought about using the wet chopping method but a potato is so different from cabbage. Thanks for the advice, will give it a try. Will let you know when I attempt it. > > > > > > Can you grate potatoes in a Vita Mix?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I successfully got the exact consistency I wanted by using a small amt of potatoes at a time and then putting them through a second time.You have to be careful when the potato gets under the blade. But mine were a huge success. If you have any additional questions about my method feel to ask me. It was my first time doing potatoes and I was most pleased with the result but there was a definite method. Ronnie NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Lee Ann-- Thanks for this info regarding wet chopping on low/variable. I actually contemplated doing that but went for the high speed as the book said, instead. I'll try your method because I like coleslaw that is thicker, too. :-) > > > > > > Can you grate potatoes in a Vita Mix?
