Potato pie
Origin of the recipe
Potato pie is an American staple, not as well-known as French fries or even Idaho fries, but no less delicious. Unlike French fries, it's not soft, but fried through. To achieve this result, raw potatoes are grated and then fried in oil instead of cut into sticks. The result is airy and crispy strips, especially popular with children.

Cooking tips
When drying potatoes, be careful not to press too hard on the thin strips, as this may damage their appearance and structure.
Don't dip too many potatoes into the hot oil at once - the oil will cool too much and you'll end up with a soggy mess instead of crispy potatoes.
It is important to salt the potatoes while they are still hot, this will make them tastier.
