The simple method of making home fries is as follows:
1. Cut the potatoes into shreds, boil water in a pot and cook for one to two minutes. The time should be controlled according to the size of the cuts. It should not be too long. Will disconnect if cooked. Pick it up and put it in a net to cool thoroughly.
2. I found a better way to share this dried potato shreds with everyone without putting it in the refrigerator. Wipe dry the water with absorbent paper, add cornstarch directly, mix well, and then put it in the oil pan for frying. This is a major discovery haha.
3. Stir the potato shreds into pieces, sprinkle two grams of cornstarch evenly and stir.
4. The oil pan must be turned on to high heat. Put a small amount of shredded potatoes in it and use long wooden chopsticks to stir while frying to prevent them from sticking together. It is recommended that you use long chopsticks to avoid burning your hands.
5. Fry all the shredded potatoes into a light color and set aside.
6. Put the light-colored potato shreds you just fried into the oil pan again at one time and fry them over high heat to force out the oil. This step must be done carefully, otherwise it will easily become bitter and turn black after frying.
7. When fried to this color, take it out of the pan. Sprinkle with salt and stir. Place oil-absorbing paper on top, place fries, and prepare ketchup.
