3.  Using the Gold Medal Spiral Slicer. 
 

Adjust the stop collar to allow the drive plate pins to come close but not touch the cutting 
blades. 

For Saratoga Swirls 
 
Remove the shredding blade and slicer pin weldment. The slicing blade must be 
positioned to the high side of the blade mounting holes for proper cutting of Saratoga 
Swirls. If the Saratoga Swirls are not loading onto the skewer properly, check the slicing 
blade mounting and adjust it to its maximum height. The thin or medium slicing blades 
are recommended when making Saratoga Swirls.  CAUTION: Be sure the adjustable set 
collar is positioned to prevent the drive plate from engaging the cutting blade. 
 

a. 

Cut about a ½  inch piece of the potato from one or both ends. 

b. 

Insert wood skewer into potato until it protrudes from opposite end of potato 
about ½ inch.  

c. 

Feed the long, empty portion of the skewer through the open slot next to the 
cutting blade.  

d. 

Place the short, half-inch end of the skewer protruding from the potato into the 
hole in the drive plate and firmly seat the potato onto the spikes of the drive 
plate. 

e. 

Move the potato and drive assembly toward the blades. 

f. 

Start rotating the crank arm of the manual slicer in a clockwise manner or press 
the two red buttons on the motorized slicer.      

g. 

Advance the potato towards the blade until it is fully engaged with the slicing 
blade. 

h. 

Firmly push and/or crank until the drive assembly reaches the set collar.  This
