Preparing the Potatoes

Begin by peeling (optional) and cutting the potatoes into thin slices or wedges. Soak them in water for a minimum of 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving that desirable crispy texture once fried.

Frying the Potatoes

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan until it reaches a temperature of about 350°F (175°C). Pat the potatoes dry before carefully adding them to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking. Cook until golden brown and crispy, usually about 7-10 minutes depending on thickness.

Finishing Touches

Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Season with salt while still hot. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

Fried Potatoes provide a good source of carbohydrates and are rich in vitamin C and potassium. However, due to being deep-fried, they are higher in fats, particularly if fried in saturated or trans fats. Choosing healthier oils and controlling portion sizes can make them part of a balanced diet.
