I couple of months ago I finally bought a mandoline to slice potatoes, since it's light and quick when you don''t need to bring out the Cuisinart.
This one's from OXO, sits on top of a bowl, and the sturdy hand guard keeps you from slicing fingers. You just hold the potato with the guard and slide it across the blade, slices fall into bowl. Goes right in the dishwasher. <$20
