I cut potatoes in thick pieces, I put them on the cutting edge. The spine i warm up by burner, so it gives spine softer and the cutting edge stays hard. Potatoes contain lots of water, so they protect cutting edge and cooling it down. This method i use during making long blades. I hope this make sense. Thanks :)
