Potato Threader

This handy gadget is actually part of a family of Japanese vegetable slicers. This version makes spiral or ribbon shaped slices of any firm vegetable.

This is the same model that Emeri uses when preparing a variety of "potato crusted" recipes. There are smaller versions but we find this one to be the most durable and easy to use.
