To learn how to cut fast, first learn to just cut. Start practicing potato. Lay the half of the root crop with the cut down, pick up a knife, hold the potato with your free hand, folding it in a special way. Bend all your fingers in half, put your thumb inside the resulting handful. The tips of the remaining fingers should also look inward.

Press the vegetable with the fingertips of the folded brush, make the first incision. The middle finger will protrude slightly in front of the others, the plane of the blade should lie on its middle bone. Since the tip of the finger is bent inside the brush, you cannot cut it. Make a gentle movement with the knife from top to bottom and towards you. The blade should not press on the potatoes, but stretch inside it.

After making the first cut, move the fetus forward with the folded fingers an appropriate amount. Do not remove the knife from the knuckle of the middle finger, slide on it with the smooth surface of the blade up and again make a cutting movement. It can take up to 5 minutes to cut one potato. Take your time, try to do everything right.
