There is a much simpler way to do this with a kitchen tool invented by a chef back in the early 50s. A long 'screw-like' center piece with a blade attached to it with a handle that is does exactly the same thing that is simply 'screwed' into the potato. If you cut through on side the finished string of potatoes to the center you also get another presentation of potatoes. I still have one of them and it works great.

I was thinking this was going to be some type of bird feeder. I used to have a very simple kitchen gadget that would cut potatoes, zucchini, etc into spirals. It was metal with a screw type thing attached that went into the vegetable and a semi-circular blade with a hole in it that you put your finger then just turn the blade around like a pinwheel (or dialing an old rotary phone) and it cuts the spirals.
