Wash the golden potatoes thoroughly.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunky sticks.

Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of water with salt to remove excess starch.

Transfer the potatoes to a pot and add water and salt to taste.

Boil the potatoes for about 3 minutes.

Drain the water from the pot and place the strainer basket back in to trap steam for further cooking.

Allow the potatoes to cool completely and check the texture; they should be halfway cooked.

Spread the potatoes out to remove excess liquid.

Dust the potatoes with cornstarch in a bag, shaking until each fry is coated.

Place the coated fries in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil for frying.

Fry the potatoes for the first time on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent burning.

Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to cool completely.

After cooling, you can transfer the fries to the freezer for later use or proceed to the second frying.

Fry the potatoes a second time until they reach the desired color, then remove them onto a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
