Chef’s tip for finger-licking crispy fries

Start by cleaning and washing the potatoes thoroughly. This first step may seem basic, but it is essential for removing dirt and surface starch that can affect the final texture of your fries. Once the potatoes are clean, the next step is just as important: cutting them properly.

For the best results, use a mandoline slicer or a kitchen slicer to achieve even thickness. If you do not have one, a sharp knife will work just fine. Cut the potatoes into medium slices, no thicker than one centimeter. After that, cut each slice into sticks of equal size. Uniform cuts ensure the fries cook evenly and develop the perfect balance of tenderness inside and crispiness outside.
