Roll and cut the dough: Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a clean work surface. Place the potato dough onto the parchment paper, then cover with another sheet of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough thinly and evenly into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Remove the top parchment paper. Use a knife to trim the edges of the rolled-out dough to create a neat rectangular shape. Cut the rectangle into long, uniform strips, similar in size and shape to thick French fries or cheese straws (about 1/2-inch wide and 3-4 inches long).
