Crispy Fried Potatoes

1.Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips or wedges. Rinse the potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch.

2.Place the potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water and let them soak for about 15 minutes. This helps to remove more starch and helps to make the potatoes crispy.

3.Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

4.Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot. Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the potatoes.

5.Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes in small batches. Avoid overcrowding the pan or pot.

6.Fry the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

7.Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried potatoes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8.Immediately season the fried potatoes with salt while they are still hot. Toss gently to evenly distribute the salt.

9.Repeat the frying process with the remaining potatoes.

10.Serve the crispy fried potatoes hot as a side dish or snack.
