Potato French Fries

Ingredients:
1 large Potato / Aloo
1/4 tsp Salt
Oil

Recipe:
Peel the potato and cut them into medium thin long pieces as shown in the picture below. Put it in water for about 20 mins. Remove the chopped potato from water and keep it aside.

Put 1/4 tsp salt and 2 - 3 tsp water in a bowl, mix it well and keep it aside.
Keep oil in a thick bottomed vessel and heat. Once the oil is hot, put the potato pieces in hot oil and fry them in medium high flame. Once they are almost fried sprinkle the salt water and fry them in medium flame for about 2-3 mins.

Remove the french fries from oil and place them in a kitchen paper towel to absorb the extra oil content. Serve hot along with tomato ketchup.
