Method
Fries
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the soaked and drained potatoes to the hot oil in small batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and paprika to taste.
Drink
Prepare the Drink
In a large glass or pitcher, combine the sparkling water and lemon juice. Stir gently to mix.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink.
Garnish
Add fresh mint leaves on top for a refreshing touch. You can also muddle them slightly for more flavor.
Serve
Serve the drink immediately with the fries for a perfect combo!
