🍳 How to cook (2 servings):

Cooking Time: 5 minutesPreperation Time: 35 minutes

Preparation

Begin by thoroughly washing 150-200 grams of potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, ensuring each piece is of uniform size for even cooking. Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier outcome.

Cooking

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (about 175°C). Carefully lower the potato strips into the hot oil, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy. This process might take 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the fries. Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil, allowing excess oil to drip off.

Seasoning

Transfer the freshly fried French Fries to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra oil. While they're still hot, season them with salt to taste, and if desired, add your choice of optional seasonings such as pepper, paprika, or garlic powder, tossing well to ensure even coating.
