👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep the Potatoes:

2. Soak & Rinse:
-
Place the potato spirals in a large bowl of cold water.
-
Let them soak for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This step ensures maximum crispiness!
-
After soaking, drain and rinse them thoroughly, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
3. Dust with Cornstarch (Optional):
-
Toss the dry spirals lightly in cornstarch or potato starch. This gives them an extra crispy coating when fried.
4. Heat the Oil:
-
Pour oil into a deep frying pan or fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C).

Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
