It's such a good machine - I'm so glad they have lots of attachments. I really want/need the food processor with the discs now. :) Besides all the cabbage, etc. that I shred, we love fries, but I hate cutting them...never get them uniform. I never even thought about an attachment for them. Glad you mentioned that. Oh, and I'd love the ice cream maker attachment, but then I'd be using it all the time and gain more weight. lol Thanks again for all the info! :)magnoliasnteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517995125207145961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-16143330738463118532015-01-17T06:24:41.352-06:002015-01-17T06:24:41.352-06:00Hi there! No worries, I still want to answer your ...Hi there! No worries, I still want to answer your question :) The Bosch attachment I used for this project is the shredder/slicer attachment. I use the shredder often for hash browns, sauerkraut, coleslaw, I use the slicer attachment for scalloped potatoes and the french fry attachment for (yes!) fries. I have the Bosch food processor attachment but am not too thrilled with it. I also scaled back on all our appliances and bought the Bosch attachment when possible however I don't have the grain mill (I also have a Nutrimill). The only other appliances I kept besides the Bosch was a food processor. Otherwise, I love the citrus juicer, the the shredder/slicer, the blender, bread and cookie bowls with attachments, the meat grinder, and I even have the old ice-cream maker attachment (though it only makes for one quart). Well, I hope this info helps! Have a wonderful weekend :) Oh and yes, this is the only appliance I keep out on my countertops! :)JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-20847115439047559482015-01-17T05:44:42.378-06:002015-01-17T05:44:42.378-06:00Yes, I know, we need to make our groceries stretch...Yes, I know, we need to make our groceries stretch!!!
