Potatoes don't particularly care if they are uniform or not. Restaurants use the press device to push a lot of potatoes through really fast, but they really don't require to be uniform for the rest of us. I use the boning knife to cut the potatoes to whatever size I wish to fry, whether it is french fries or sliced for home fries or even in wedges. Yes, I have a potato cutter, but it is much more trouble than it is worth, too much time cleaning for just a few potatoes.

I use an apple peeler from OSH. My kids love it. just drive the potatoes all the way thru it. hit with a knife and you can have chips or fries in no time.

A good sharp knife makes easy work of slicing. No need for expensive equipment that takes up a lot of room on the counter or cupboard, and that you rarely use.
