Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes large, scrubbed clean
  • cold water for soaking
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 tsp sea salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Using a waffle cutter, slice potatoes into waffle shapes by rotating the potato 90 degrees between each cut.
  • Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • Drain and pat the potatoes completely dry with paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3–5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain on paper towels and immediately sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For an extra crisp texture, double fry the potatoes: fry lightly first, let cool, then fry again until golden.
