Recipe instructions

Step 1
How to fry French fries in vegetable oil? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Potato varieties that are low in starch are suitable for frying. They usually have yellowish flesh. It is advisable to use finely ground salt.

Place the potatoes in a bowl, cover with cold water and leave for 10 minutes to remove excess starch from the potatoes.

Step 4

In a small diameter Teflon frying pan with a thick bottom or in a saucepan over medium (or above medium) heat, heat the vegetable oil with a pinch of salt.
