It is necessary to place the peeled tuber in a plate with small sides and arm with a long knife. We make the usual cuts, and the sides will not allow the knife to reach the end. In this case, the pockets will be the same depth.
• If young potatoes are used for the preparation of accordions, then the tubers can not be peeled, it will be even more interesting. Just wash them well with warm water. And if there is any concern, then you can sprinkle with hot water.
• Potato loves fat! Therefore, oils, lard and fatty dairy products will never be superfluous in harmonica.
