We begin to peel and wash the potatoes.
Then we cut them into strips or however you prefer.
Meanwhile, in a bowl add enough water and also ice.
Next step, we 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 the water covers the potatoes well during this time.
Then drain the potatoes and leave them in a container with a kitchen towel until they are completely dry.
When we have the potatoes very dry, we add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and stir everything with our fingers.
Meanwhile, heat enough oil in a large frying pan and when hot, reduce the heat to medium.
Then we add the potatoes, preferably in batches, and leave them for about 10 minutes or until they are golden.
While they are cooking, we take them out, drain them and leave them in a container with absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Finally, we spread salt to taste and we can add seasonings to taste when serving.
Ready to serve and enjoy these delicious crispy fries!
