Step by Step

1
First of all, you need to peel the potato; the easiest way is to use a potato peeler (you can skip this step for the potato wedges).
2
Once the potato is peeled, cut a slice to create a base so the potato doesn't move while you're cutting it. If you are going to use the potato to make sticks or cubes, it is necessary to cut the ends to form a square, which will improve the quality of your cuts.

In each slice, cut sticks of approximately 1 centimeter. Soak the sticks in water until you are ready to use them.

Cubes
6
Wedges
7
Make diagonal cuts on the potato, ensuring that the potato wedges are more or less the same size. Once you reach one-third of the potato, place the cut side down on the board (to prevent it from moving) and repeat the diagonal cuts to form the wedges. Soak the wedges in water until you are ready to use them.
