Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato sticks to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
