Stacking them makes for fast and even cuts
Stack the potatoes to cut them; this makes it easy to shred them into relatively even strips. First, wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them into pieces of uniform thickness. Finally, stack two or three of these slices together and shred them into relatively fine strips. This method generally results in shreds of uniform thickness, which allows for even heating when stir-frying and prevents half from being cooked while the other half remains raw.
