Introduction

The secret to tasty, successful fries located in two places.

At this stage the can be preserved in the refrigerator for several hours.

Place the oil in a saucepan and bring to a temperature of 150 ° C.

Drain and pat dry the potatoes well and add the oil.

Attention to the quantity, is not too great. The potatoes should be free swimming in oil without crowding.

Stir occasionally carefully.

Fry until soft and well-being at the limit to begin to dissipate.

This is the hardest part, but as the surface breaks indentation where the oil enters the second stage of frying, and this results in extra crisp surface and special taste.

Drain potatoes, pat dry on paper and salt them lightly with fine salt while still hot.
