Fried Potatoes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and slice the potatoes very thin or cut them into strips.

  2. Soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes.

  3. Dry the potatoes between two soft cloths.

  4. Heat cottolene in a deep pan until hot.

  5. Fry the potatoes in batches to avoid cooling the oil.

  6. Once lightly colored, remove with a slotted spoon and place on hot paper in an open oven until all are ready.

  7. Ensure they are dry and crisp before serving.
