Cut each potato into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick slices. Rinse each potato under cold water and pat them completely dry. Set the potatoes on a cutting board and hold one securely with one hand. Use your other hand to carefully make 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick slices lengthwise. Decide if you'd like to peel the potatoes or leave the skins on. Keep in mind that the skin of russet potatoes can be tough. Variation: If you're turning baked potatoes into home fries, remove the peels and then cut each potato in half.
