Preparation of Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Heating the Oil

Frying the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the potato strips to the hot oil, being cautious of splatters. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
