This can be a  tastier and more beneficial way to enjoy this popular food. Many of us have probably thought about making our own french fries and then quickly decided that it was a bad idea.

How would you ever be able to make those fancy cuts? or Wouldn’t it take forever to turn a whole potato into all kinds of thinly cut fries? Well if you were to attempt the task with a regular knife then the answer to those questions would be yes. Too hard. Too much time. And what a hassle.

The Borner Wave Slicer makes  the task quick and easy and also does some other jobs too. It can make waffle fries, wavy cottage fries, or traditional looking crinkle cut fries. It is all in how you use it, but whichever type of fry you are cutting, the Borner Waffle slicer makes it incredibly simple. It is a German designed kitchen gadget that features a super sharp blade, superior construction and quite simple operation. It is an affordable device that would make the perfect addition to any kitchen. Gourmet cooks and novices alike will love this Borner slicer because they will be able to achieve perfect uniform results each and every time. It does not take any special skill to operate.

CRINKLE CUT FRIES
To make crinkle cut french fries simply take your potato and secure it to the safety food holder. Set the slicer to the ridge or wavy cut. Then just slide the potato along the device and past the blade. Be sure to apply even pressure in order to achieve the ideal thickness of slice. You will slice the whole potato into wavy slices. Once this is done, simply stack the pieces back together and place them back in the food holder sideways. Now when you slice the potato you will have perfect looking crinkle cut french fries as your result. This whole process takes just seconds once you are used to operating this slicer.

WAFFLE FRIES
Making waffle fries is even easier. Set the slicer for the waffle cut and secure your potato in the food holder. Make a single pass along the slicer to make the first cut. You will notice ridges on the end of your potato. After the first pass, just make a quarter turn and slice it again. Your first waffle fry is now cut. Simply rotate back and forth as you cut to slice multiple waffle fries in just seconds. They will be perfectly cut and of a uniform thickness.

WAVY FRIES
This is the easiest one to do. Just set the slicer to wavy cut, secure your potato and slice away. You will get perfect, professional looking slices quickly and easily.

Once cut you are ready to season and cook your fries to your liking. They can be baked or fried, and seasoned with any number of spices. Once you discover how easy it is, and how great the fries taste, it will be hard to go back to store bought versions again

    I love my Henckels. I find the handle weighting and range of blade options is just perfect for the way I cook. I am hard on knives, I don?t take care of them as well as I should, but mine have held up for 20 years and will probably last a lifetime.

    Delicious is right! Maybe it’s the shape that does it. Something about the way the criss cross pattern holds on to salt and other spices maybe. Whatever it is, one thing is for certain – waffle fries = yummy :)
