Prep Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Baked Potato
  • 1 l Oil neutral in taste

Instructions

    1. Find your mandoline slicer.
    2. Mount the blade with the smallest "teeth".
    3. Slice the potatoes on the mandoline slicer - be careful with your fingers.
    4. Fill a bowl with water.
    5. Put the mini fries in the bowl of water.
    6. Let them sit in the water for 30-60 minutes. This is done to extract the starch from the potatoes, which helps to make them crispy. Feel free to replace the water with fresh tap water a couple of times during the process.
    7. Lay a kitchen towel on the table.
    8. Place the mini fries on one half of the kitchen towel.
    9. Fold the rest of the towel over the fries and pat/dry them well. If you have time, you can advantageously put them in the freezer for 30-60 minutes - it helps to dry them out.
    10. Pour oil into the fryer.
    11. Set the fryer to 185 degrees Celsius (365 degrees Fahrenheit).
    12. Deep-fry the fries at 185 degrees Celsius (365 degrees Fahrenheit) until they are crispy. It takes a few minutes, and it's important not to put too many in the oil at once, as it lowers the temperature. I made mine in three batches.
    13. Serve your Pommes Pailles hot or cold.Pommes Pailles
