It is very simple. Once the potatoes are washed slice them in half. Afterwards, place the cut side of the potato upside down and cut it in half again. Now, you will have each potato diveded in four pieces. Finally, depending on the size of the potatoes or the thickness of the slice you want, each piece of potato could be cut again in half.
