Peel and wash 250 grams of roasted potatoes.

Slice potatoes into batonet strips, 5 to 6 centimeters long and 6 millimeters wide.

Hand cut the potatoes or use a mandolin.

Place the potatoes in a bowl of cold water and rinse until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on paper towels and pack with more paper towels to dry thoroughly.

Place 1 liter of vegetable oil in a 4 liter pot and heat to 180 to 190 degrees Celsius.

Carefully add the potatoes and fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Fry the potatoes in two batches; blanch in oil at 160 degrees Celsius first, then fry until crispy at 190 degrees Celsius.

Right before serving, remove the french fries from the oil using a slotted spoon or a spider and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

Season with salt and serve with homemade ketchup and homemade mayonnaise.
