Basic Recipe: Fried Potatoes

To make this recipe I thought to my self "How would a dummy do this?" Of course, I knew I was going to fry potatoes, but I didn't think of the other things. Just like you might. So when I got the potato I forgot a crucial thing: wash before you cook. No, not your own hands, silly! The potato! Anyway, here's the recipe:
