Step by Step

1
Wash the potatoes and, if you prefer them without skin, peel them with a potato peeler.
2
Cut a very small slice horizontally to create a flat base for cutting so it doesn't move while you cut.
3
Cut the rest of the slices to the same thickness, approximately 1 cm.
4
Take each of the slices and cut them into sticks, also with a thickness of 1 cm.
5
Soak the sticks in cold water and leave them until you're ready to fry or bake.
