Directions
- Cut the sides and edges of the potatoes to make a square then cut them into thickish sticks
- Put the cut potatoes in a colander and run cold water to rinse off the starch from the surface

- With a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes and place them on a cooling rack
- Allow them to drip dry (+/- 20 minutes)
- Freeze them for about 1 hour so that they are completely dry
- Heat enough oil to fry the potatoes at 130°C until they are a little puffy and just coloured (+/- 5 minutes)
- Drain them well and freeze them for a further hour
