Straw Potato Fries

Step by step: Straw Potato Fries

• Step1

  Peel and wash 250 grams (9 oz) of potatoes. Slice into Julienne strips: 3-5 cm long (1.5 inch), and 3 mm wide. Hand cut the potatoes, or use a mandoline.

• Step2

  Place the potatoes in a bowl of cold water and rinse until the water runs clear, to remove excess starch.

• Step3

  Arrange in a single layer on paper towels, pat with more paper towels to dry thoroughly.

• Step4

  Place 1 liter of vegetable oil in 4 liter (4 quarts) pot. Heat to 180-190°C (355-375°F).

• Step5

  Add the potatoes, and fry until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally.

• Step6

  Remove the potatoes from the oil using a slotted spoon or a spider and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt and serve as a side dish to complement the main course, or a snack! Visit our website to find more great recipes
