    Mandoline slicers are great tools for making evenly thin slices of fruits and vegetables.
    Step 1: Place the slicer perpendicularly
    Place the slicer perpendicular to you so that you’ll have better control over the food.
    Tip
    Mandoline blades are very sharp. Use a safety guard and take precautions when using and cleaning a mandoline slicer.
    Step 2: Cut a potato
    Try the mandoline with a potato. Cut it in half to make a flat surface.
    Step 3: Attach a potato half
    Attach the rounded end of one potato half to the hand pusher.
    Step 4: Slide the potato
    Slide the flat side of the potato across the blades using even strokes and consistent pressure.
    Tip
    Adjust the thickness of each cut with the knob or lever on the side of the slicer.
    Step 5: Slice the other half
    Use the same process for the other half of the potato, using the hand pusher to make even and consistent pressure strokes.
    Step 6: Clean the slicer
    Clean the slicer immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the parts. Try it next with a variety of vegetables!
    Did You Know?
    An early illustrated culinary book, published in 1570, shows a board with a cutting blade to cut vegetables into thin sticks.

    Nah, what I wondered about was how to use the mandolin for a potato without losing 1/5 of the thing once you reach the level where the gripper won't hold it anymore

      Have you tried putting a rolled up paper towel between the food and the hand pusher?

    Steb 4b: call an ambulance. This woman is pushing the potato into the blade, with a thin slice of air between her inner wrist and the razor-sharp steel on every pass. In step 2 her technique is dangerous, but in step 4 it's terrifying.
