1

Clean the potatoes and cut them into thick slices, ensuring they are the same size for even cooking.

2

In a deep bowl, pour cold water with a few ice cubes and soak the sliced potatoes for about 4-5 minutes to remove starch.

3

Drain the potatoes and lay them on a paper towel-lined oven tray, then dab with another paper towel to remove excess water.

4

In a medium pot, pour frying oil and heat it until hot; check readiness by placing one fry in the oil.

5

Once the oil is ready, add the fries in batches without overloading the pot, and fry for about 2-3 minutes until halfway cooked.

6

Remove the fries and place them on a cooling rack to drain the oil and cool down completely.

7

Place the cooled fries in a ziplock bag and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.

8

After freezing, heat oil in the medium pot again until hot, then add the frozen fries and cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden, without stirring.

9

Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a cooling rack to drain the oil.

10

Plate the steak fries and sprinkle with salt before serving.
