Turn on the flame. Take lot of water in a bowl and heat it to boiling. Once the water is boiling with bubbles, drop pieces of potato slowly. Take care as the water is very hot, you may burn your fingers. Let the potatoes cook for some 10 minutes. Keep stirring every 3-4 minutes. Take out a piece and check if it is medium soft. You are not supposed to cook it completely. We are going to deep fry, so just cook enough that the potatoes are medium soft. Take out the potatoes on a clean cotton cloth and spread them evenly to dry out the moisture in them. Keep them under fan.

Viola, we are almost half way. Nice and soft potatoes are ready. What’s next ! Deeeeep Fry them. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan at high flame. Once the oil is medium hot, place the potatoes in the pan very very careful. Take 10-15 slices in every batch as per your comfort. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes and take them out on a clean paper. That would soak out access of oil. Repeat this step until you are done with all the slices. Let the potatoes dry for about 5 minutes before the second round of deep fry. Take some salt in a plate and spread it evenly, this will help in coating the salt on the fried chips evenly. Deep fry the second time on very high heat until they are light brown and the edges are brown.
