Ingredients

2 potatoes (large; peeled and boiled until soft)
0.25 cup all-purpose flour (used as a binder for the potato mash)
salt (to taste)
vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Steps

1
Peel the potatoes and boil them in water until they are completely soft and fork-tender.
2
Drain the potatoes and mash them thoroughly until smooth.
3
Add all-purpose flour and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
4
Shape the potato mixture into a large, thick log shape, resembling a giant french fry.
5
Heat vegetable oil in a pan or deep fryer to approximately 350°F (175°C).
6
Carefully lower the giant potato log into the hot oil and fry until the exterior is deep golden brown and crispy.
7
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels before serving.

Notes

The creator mentions that while some critics prefer small fries for the crunch-to-surface-area ratio, this 'giant log of fried potato' offers a unique texture. Adding flour is essential to help the large shape hold together during frying.
