   Step 4

   Once they're about 70% cooked, you can take them out of the freezer. There are two methods: First, if you have plenty of time at home, you can spread them out flat and let them cool completely before freezing. Second, for faster cooling, you can rinse them briefly with cold water, then spread them out flat and freeze them. This will shorten the cooling time.

   Step 5

   Of course, the freezing time should be at least 3 hours. Once frozen, remove the potato strips from the freezer, heat a little oil in a frying pan, and fry the potato strips. Be careful, as they might splatter when they come into contact with oil since they're frozen!
