When you cut the slices, it is important not to cut all the way through the potato, the potato should remain whole and the sliced should be cut about two thirds of the way down.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor mini potatoes, I find that the best way to stop your knife from cutting all the way through is to place a potato on a dessert spoon as you cut it. The ridge of the spoon will stop the knife from cutting all the way through.
