  4. 4Turn the heat to high and add some salt.
  5. 5Wait for the water to come to a boil.

Tips

  • Parboiling the potatoes cooks them partially but not completely.

  • Use chopsticks to check if the oil is hot enough by observing constant bubbling.
  • Strain the frying oil through a fine sieve to reuse it a couple more times.
