First, prepare the tindora and potatoes. To start, remove the circular ends of the tindora and slice it lengthwise into 4 pieces. If the tindora is overripe and slightly reddish, then please discard it. To prepare the potatoes, first peel them. Once they are peeled, cut the circular ends off the potatoes and then slice the remainder of the potatoes to match the tindora.
