  • 15.
    Remove the potatoes from the fridge, and fry them in a neutral taste vegetable oil at 280ºF/137ºC for about 10 minutes, do not over fry them and do not overcrowd the oil, this will make the oil temperature drop and your potatoes will get soggy instead of crunchy.
  • 16.
    Remove the potatoes from the oil and place them on a cooling rack, then put them in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until they are cold. If you would like to freeze the potatoes, allow them to become very cold then place them in a bag, and freeze them until you decide to fry them again.
