Pro Tips:

Uniform Cutting: For even cooking, make sure the potato squares are cut to uniform sizes. This ensures all pieces fry evenly.

Dry Potatoes: After grating, pat the potatoes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier texture.

Batch Frying: Fry the potato squares in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding can lead to soggy squares.

Oil Temperature: Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C). This helps the squares cook evenly and become perfectly crispy.

Seasoning: Taste a small piece before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed. Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of extra salt can enhance the flavor.
