INSTRUCTIONS
Prep:
Dice the onion: Cut the onion in half lengthwise. Turn the half vertically and make thin slices but leave the root intact. Then turn the onion horizontally and push the knife crosswise into the slices. Then, thinly slice to make small, diced pieces.
Mince the garlic: Cut off the root and remove the peel then thinly slice each clove. Rock the knife over the sliced pile a few times to finely mince the garlic.
Julienne the carrots: Use a peeler to remove the skin; cut and discard the ends. Cut the carrot crosswise into thirds. Thinly slice each third lengthwise, then stack the pieces and slice lengthwise again into matchsticks.
Slice the celery: Slice the celery stalks crosswise into small diced pieces.
Slice the potato: Remove the skin, then slice the potatoes lengthwise into thick wedges. Gather the wedges, stack them up, and slice them crosswise into medium-sized cubes.
