Let’s start by peeling and washing the potatoes.
Then cut them into strips or however you prefer.
In the meantime, add the right amount of water and ice to a bowl.
Next, add the potatoes to the water and leave them there for about 10 minutes or until the starch is released.
You want to make sure that the water covers the potatoes well during this time.
Then drain the potatoes and leave them in a container with a cloth until they are completely dry.
When the potatoes are dry, add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix everything together with your fingers.
In the meantime, heat enough oil in a large frying pan and when it is hot, reduce the heat to medium.
Then add the potatoes, preferably in batches, and leave for about 10 minutes or until they are golden.
While you are preparing them, remove them, drain them and leave them in a container lined with absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
Finally, season with salt to taste and you can add spices to taste when serving.
Ready to serve and enjoy these tasty, crispy chips!
