Method

Wash the potatoes in cold water, put into a pot with enough water to cover amply, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, then drain. Peel the potatoes as soon as they are cool enough for you to handle. Slice them thin after they have cooled off a little longer so that you can cut them into compact slices. If they are too hot, the slices will crumble.
