Preparation
Step 1
Use potato varieties with low starch. They usually have a yellowish flesh. Prefer fine salt.
Step 2
Wash, peel, and cut potatoes into long sticks. Choose uniform, elongated pieces about 3 inches (7–8 cm) long.
Step 3
Place potatoes in a bowl, cover with cold water, and leave for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 4
Drain water and thoroughly dry potatoes on paper towels. Removing all moisture is crucial to avoid oil splatter.
Step 5
In a small nonstick skillet with a thick bottom or a saucepan, heat vegetable oil with a pinch of salt over medium to medium-high heat. Oil should fully cover the potato sticks. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer fried potatoes onto paper towels to remove excess oil. Taste and add salt if necessary.
Step 7
Serve immediately while hot, with any sauces. Enjoy!
