Ingredients

1 kg solid potatoes
Frying oil
5 tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoon ground cumin
5 tablespoon dried Italian herbs

Directions

Peel the potatoes with a peeler and cut them into slices lengthwise.
Cut the slices into long strips of 1 cm thick.
Rinse the potato strips in a container with cold water so that the starch can wash away.
Drain them in a colander and pat the strips with paper towels dry.
Heat the frying oil in the fryer to 160 ° C.
Put one third of the potato strips in the frying basket and deep-fry them in 6 minutes, without coloring them.
Let the pre-fried French fries drain in a colander covered with kitchen paper.
Fry all fries in this way.
Let the fries cool down.
Preheat the frying oil at 175 ° C just before serving and fry a third of the French fries in 4 minutes until golden brown.
Drain them again in a colander with new kitchen paper.
Mix the paprika with the cumin, Italian herbs and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
Transfer the fries to a bowl, sprinkle some herbs and scoop the fries one more time.
