Abstract
Improvements in apparatus and methods for cutting potatoes into strips, wherein the potatoes are carried hydraulically in single file against and through an arrangement of knife blades, rapidly and with great force. The improvements reside in the manner in which the potatoes are preconditioned for cutting, the mechanism by which the potatoes are aligned in the hydraulic stream as they approach the knives, and the knife device by which the potatoes are effectively cut into strips.
