Make potato ribbons from whole potatoes.
Home and restaurant kitchens around the world prepare potatoes in different ways, including scalloped, mashed and baked, along with french fries and potato chips. Deep-fried potato ribbons, often served with hamburgers, hot dogs or sandwiches, may be a bit more unusual -- but they're not difficult to make.
Instructions
1. Wash the potatoes before slicing and frying.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and let them dry in a strainer for about 10 minutes before peeling.
2. Fry the potatoes in oil formulated for high heat.
Pour five or six cups of frying oil into a deep fryer and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Cut ribbon-like pieces as if peeling an apple.
Start at the top of each potato and cut it with the peeler in long ribbon-like pieces by rotating the potato as if peeling an apple.
4. Drop the potato ribbons into the hot oil for about three minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Remove the ribbons with tongs and set them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
