Hello. I made two dialogues. Would you tell me if there are any mistakes?

No. 1

M: Did you buy the potatoes like [as] I asked you to?

F: Oops! I knew I forgot something. I bought radishes, though.  ( Is "a radish" OK? )

M: How can I make French fries with radishes?

No. 2

M: Are you trying [doing] as fast as you can? You said you can type
   90 words a minute.

F: Well, I can usually [do it]. But this keyboard is smaller than (the one) I'm
   used to.

M: Okay, I'll find you a larger one.

                                   Thank you!
