Preparing Potatoes

If you are doing this for the first time get an grown up to help you. Wash the potatoes to get rid of any mud and chemicals on the outside.

Use the potato peeler to peel off the skin. A peeler is safer and easier to use than a knife.

Chop the potatoes in half. Place the flat surface on the chopping board and chop the potato into thick slices. If you need ‘diced’ potatoes, chop the potatoes the other way, to make cubes the size of cola cubes or the dice that you use in board games!
