Method
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 cm thick sticks. Rinse in cold water until it runs clear and dry them very well in a tea towel.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 160 °C. Fry the potatoes in 2 or 3 batches, 5 to 6 minutes each, until soft inside but still pale. Drain on a tray.
- Raise the oil to 180 °C and fry the potatoes again, in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Drain on kitchen paper, sprinkle at once with the salt and serve hot.
Shopping tip
Frying potatoes (Agria or as labelled on the bag) give the best result. The oil can be strained and reused once or twice.
