  2. Place in cold salted water, bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes from the boil.
  3. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  4. Pat dry thoroughly.
  5. First fry: Heat oil to 160°C (320°F) and fry the potatoes until a thin crust forms and they stop sizzling (about 3-5 minutes). Drain and let cool completely.
