Slicing can be done using a mandoline, or even easier using a Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with the 4- or 6-mm slicing disc. White/yellow potatoes sliced 4-mm thick will take about 4 to 41/2 minutes to grill until tender. White/yellow potatoes sliced 6-mm thick will take about 5 to 51/2 minutes to grill until tender. Sweet potatoes will take about 30 to 45 seconds less to grill until tender.
