Step 3

Mash the potatoes well until they are smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. The potatoes should also be quite stiff and easily stick together when pressed.

Step 4

Cover a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spread the mashed potatoes on the pan into a layer that is about 2 centimeters thick. It should not completely cover the pan. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Step 5

Cut use a sharp knife to cut out the fries. Gently pull them apart, being careful to not break them.

Step 6

Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs into three separate bowls. Lightly salt each of the bowls.

Step 7

Heat oil in a deep fryer according to manufacturer instructions. Place layers of paper towels under a wire rack.

Step 8

Working in batches, dip the fries in the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally the bread crumbs in that order. Fry them for about 2 - 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the fries to the wire rack.

Step 9

Top with more salt while they are still hot, and serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice!
