- Using another paper towel gently press the slices of potatoes to extract the water
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add oil and keep the flame medium
- Test the oil by dropping a small slice of potato and if it slowly raises in oil, then the heatness is perfect. The potatoes should not raise in oil immediately, because, over heatness may burn the potatoes
- Once the potato slices are dried, take it in a plate and keep ready for frying
- Gently drop 8-10 slices of potatoes in the oil.
- Do not drop more as we need space for the slices to fry in oil
