Besides, are Microplane graters better?
The Microplane is classic for a reason. With super sharp blades that produce feathery tufts of citrus zest and perfectly-shredded ginger, it’s infinitely more effective than most other fine-grating blades on box graters, and does a much better job than most other handheld options.
Halve the potato(es) with a knife. Put the uncut end of a potato into the hand guard. Place the flat, cut end of the potato at the top of the runway and slide it down the mandoline to shred the potato. Repeat this motion until you’ve finished shredding all your potatoes.
Also to know is, is a zester better than a grater?
You can zest citrus with a grater, but you can’t necessarily shred veggies with a zester. When you do zest with a grater, it’ll be the more like the consistency of grating ginger versus the sturdier strips that come from a traditional zester.
