Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain and pat dry the soaked potatoes. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Remove the fried potatoes and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with sea salt and chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
