Ingredients

• ½ tsp Shalimar's Chef Spices Black Pepper Powder

• Cold water, as required

• Shalimar's Soyabean Oil, for deep frying

  
  

Method

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even-sized strips. Soak the potato strips in cold water for 20 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier texture.

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Sprinkle the cornflour over the potato strips and toss gently until they are evenly coated.

Heat Shalimar's Soyabean Oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat. Fry the potatoes in batches for 3–4 minutes, just until they are lightly cooked without browning. Remove and let them cool completely.

Increase the oil temperature slightly and fry the potatoes a second time until they turn golden brown, crisp, and perfectly crunchy.

Drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Season immediately with salt and Shalimar's Chef Spices Black Pepper Powder while the fries are still hot. Serve with tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese sauce, or your favorite dip for crispy, restaurant-style French Fries.
