• Garlic — Mince the garlic finely for a more pronounced flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra crispy texture, you can double-fry the potatoes. After the initial frying, let them cool for a few minutes, then fry them again until they reach the desired crispiness.
• If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the flour mixture before coating the potatoes.
