The oil should be hot but not smoking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fry the Potatoes<\/strong>: Carefully add the coated potato slices or cubes to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drain Excess Oil<\/strong>: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Season and Serve<\/strong>: Sprinkle the crispy fried potatoes with additional salt and pepper if desired while they are still hot.
