How to make French Fries at home

Image of frying basket round Heat oil and when hot place a frying basket preferably round in shape inside the pan and add a layer of the potato strips. Mix 4 tbsp of salt in 1/2 cup of water and mix well till all the salt dissolves. Add 1 tbsp of salt water to the basket and mix it well so that all the potato strips are evenly coated. Fry the potato strips in the basket until they are golden brown. The same procedure is to be repeated to all the batches. Remove the excess oil by placing the fried strips in kitchen towels. Serve with tomato ketchup or spicy cheese dip.
