2. Then wash the potatoes with cold water for 5 minutes. Strain them and let them dry.
3. Pour olive oil (virgin or extra virgin) in a frying pan. Use enough to cover the potatoes and heat to 120º more or less. In order to know if the temperature is right, put a piece of bread in the oil. If the bread does not float quickly, then the temperature is right.
4. When the oil is ready, add the potatoes little by little. That is to prevent the oil from getting cold.
5. Fry the potatoes for 7 minutes. Then take the potatoes and place them on absorbent paper. The potatoes must not yet be brown.
