Ingredients
- potatoes - watch the video to see (designated for frying)
- salt - 1 tablespoon (large spoon)
- vinegar - 1 tablespoon (large spoon)
- water - enough to cover the potatoes (for soaking, add ice pieces if preferred)
- cooking oil - as needed (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and immediately place them in water to prevent browning.
- Cut the potatoes: Cut all the potatoes to one thickness by hand to ensure even cooking.
- Soak the potatoes: Soak the potatoes in cold water with a tablespoon of salt and vinegar for at least an hour.
- Dry the potatoes: After soaking, drain the potatoes well and dry them completely using kitchen towels or napkins.
- First fry: Heat the oil to a moderate temperature and fry the potatoes for 3 minutes. Remove and let them drain.
- Second fry: Fry the potatoes a second time until they take on a golden color, about three to four minutes. Remove from oil and drain.
- Season: While still hot, transfer the potatoes to a wide plate and season with your preferred spices, enjoying the crunching sound as you mix.
