The ONLY Fry Cutter You Need
The “Fry Daddy 3000”
Everyone knows potatoes taste best when cut into long rectangular shapes. So, why not own a potato guillotine?
Jokes aside, this is by far the most hardcore potato fry cutter I’ve seen. Not without it’s issues though. I’ll break down what it does right, what it does wrong, what I think about it, and whether or not it belongs in your kitchen.
What it does right:
Stainless Steel Construction
Being made of stainless steel was a big selling point for me as I’m really tired of throwing away plastic that breaks after a few uses. I can say without a doubt, I’ve used this guy more than a few times already, and it’s showing no signs of wear.
Variable-Sized Blades Available
On the listing, they have multiple-sized blades, giving you the freedom to choose your thickness. I’m using the 1/2; they also have 1/4 and 3/8 sizes available. They don’t seem to sell them separately, so get the right size from the start.
Good For Other Veggies
I’ve only used this for potatoes as fries are life, but you can use it on other vegetables like cucumber or carrots if you’re into that sorta thing.
Easy To Use
I’m not sure how much easier it can get. Take your potato, lay it in, and pull the lever with a smooth motion. Done. They do recommend cutting the ends off for stability, but I gave up doing that after the first round.
Very Effective
As long as you don’t stutter cut, this cutter does a good job every time.
Easy To Clean
I simply spray off the end and use a bottle brush to remove any leftover potato bits.
Fun To Use
Fun might not seem like a good metric here, but trust me, if it’s enjoyable to use, you want to use it more, and this is.

What it does wrong:
Storage
This thing is a bit cumbersome. The handle doesn’t have any sort of lock, so standing it up is out. Make sure you have a good flat open space to store this bad boy.
Screws Loosen
I appreciate the use of screws instead of rivets for the handle, but after a few uses, I notice it starts to work itself loose. Fell off and almost lost the little nut that holds it together. Advice: Check your nuts often.
Complicated Assembly
Taking it apart is easy; putting it back together is a bit trickier. The side plates have to slide in and line up with a notch in the back, then you can add the cutting blade and screw it all together. There are 3 different plates; the ones on the sides are tough to keep straight while adding the blade.
Single Suction Cup Stabilizer
On the base, at the handle, is a single suction cup. It’s there to keep the whole thing from sliding around when you cut. Well, with a single pivot point there, any angle on your swing, and it spins. A little practice and it’s fine, but I’d love to see a set of smaller ones at the front to really lock it in.
Does it belong in YOUR kitchen?
If you don’t mind the work of making homemade fries, which are totally worth it, this will definitely find a place in your kitchen. From burgers and fries to chilli cheese fries, or hecken fries with a steak, potatoes cut into long rectangular shapes are the best…

There is no better side than the French fry. If you are seriously thinking of having those FROZEN FRIES with your custom burger, please, don’t. Make these perfectly crispy homemade air-fryer fries instead.
