摘要：
A method of cutting potatoes into a plurality of pieces, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a potato to a cutting implement having a cutting edge for cutting a potato； (b) supplying a lubricating liquid onto the cutting implement to form a liquid film over at least part of the cutting edge, the lubricating liquid comprising an aqueous dispersion of an antifoam additive； and (c) cutting the potato using the lubricated cutting edge to cut a potato piece from the potato. Also disclosed is an apparatus for cutting potatoes into a plurality of pieces, the apparatus comprising a liquid supply mechanism comprising a tank for holding a lubricant in the form of a liquid, an outlet conduit from the tank communicating with an in¬ line mixer, a water supply conduit for supplying water to the in-line mixer, the water supply conduit communicating with the outlet conduit or an inlet side of the in-line mixer, the in-line mixer being arranged to form a lubricating fluid from the lubricant and the water, a mixer output conduit communicating with a cutting implement and having a supply outlet for supplying a lubricating liquid from the in-line mixer onto the cutting implement to form a liquid film over at least part of a cutting edge of the cutting implement, and an input conduit for the tank, the input conduit communicating with a liquid outlet of a potato peeling device.
