• Wash and dry potatoes before starting. Peel the potatoes, if desired.

Cut the potato in desired shape:

• Potato Wedges: Using a sharp knife, cut the potato in half lengthwise. Place the cut side down on the cutting board and cut in half lengthwise. Cut each quarter in half again, and you should have 8 wedges.
• Potato Slices: Using a sharp knife, start at the root of the potato and carefully make slices to your desired thickness. Continue until you reach the other end of the potato.
• Potato Sticks: Using a sharp knife, make a thin slice lengthwise so the potato sits flat on the cutting board. Slice the potato lengthwise to your desired thickness. Stack the slices together and cut lengthwise to make sticks.
• Potato Cubes: Start by cutting potato sticks, then make perpendicular cuts all across to create the dices.
• Place the cut potatoes in cool water until ready to cook to prevent discoloration.
