We begin by peeling and washing the potatoes.
Then we cut them into strips, or as you prefer.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, add enough water and ice.
The next step is to add the potatoes to the water and let them soak for about 10 minutes, or until the starch is released.
Make sure the water covers the potatoes well during this time.
Next, drain the potatoes and leave them in a bowl with a kitchen towel until completely dry.
When the potatoes are completely dry, add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix everything together with your fingers.
Meanwhile, heat enough oil in a large skillet and, when hot, reduce the heat to medium.
Next, add the potatoes, preferably in batches, and let them cook for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
While they’re cooking, remove them, drain them, and place them in a bowl with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Finally, sprinkle with salt to taste and add dressings to taste before serving.
Ready to serve and enjoy these delicious crispy fries!
