Notes:
Whenever I make a dish that chops more than one item or requires a lot of chopping, I use a Chop Wizard. It makes the job quick and easy. There are more than one size of chopping blades, so the onion and carrots do well with the smallest size and the potatoes are great with the larger blades. It can take a little getting used to in the beginning (I took my first one back), but once you know how to use it, what a benefit! It is necessary to slice the potatoes the thickness you want and then lay the slices on the blade and it will chop it into perfect little squares for you. It works just as wonderfully for potato salad (pickles, potatoes, & onion) and endless other dishes. |
