INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare the French fries, cut the peeled potatoes in long strips about 1 to 1.5cm thick , to create French fries.

Soak it in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes . Drain it and wash them again a few times to remove the starch.

In a saucepan with boiling water, put in the salt and boil the potato slices for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain it and remove the moisture completely using paper towel.

Then coat it thoroughly with corn starch in a bowl. Remove excess is corn starch layer is too thick.

Fry it in hot preheated oil for around 6-8 minutes on low-high heat and take it out once it turns golden. Let them cool.
