With the invention of the technology of deep freezing french fries at home, potatoes can be fried in 5 minutes. There are also advantages to this preparation.

Determine the amount of oil yourself, while taking into account that the more oil you pour into the pan, the fatter the finished potato will turn out. Place frozen potato slices in a preheated skillet. You do not need to defrost potatoes in advance.
