  3. Place a pan with sunflower or rapeseed oil and heat the oil over a medium flame.
  4. Place the potato slices in the hot oil. Don't put too many potatoes in one pan. Otherwise, a large part of the ends will not be fried until crispy. If you cook for several people, it is better to use one or two more pans.

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut in half lengthways. You can cut again very large potatoes in the middle.
  2. Cut the halves into thin lengthways slices, approx. three to five millimeters.

  4. Put the fried potato slices in the hot oil.
  5. Cook the potatoes over low heat and cover for approx. Fry for eight minutes, turning carefully. This will prevent your fried potatoes from getting crispy on the outside but remaining raw on the inside.
  6. Remove the lid and raise the temperature to medium.
