Method

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly, peel them, and cut them into evenly thick fries (approx. 1 cm).

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Drain the fries well and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Preheat the oven to 210 °C (convection). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    In a bowl, toss the dried fries with melted lard or ghee and dried rosemary. Do not add salt yet, so the potatoes do not release water and remain crispy.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Spread the fries on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Bake for approximately 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy (you can turn the fries halfway through baking).

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the fries with sea salt and serve immediately while fresh.
