00:00 Intro
00:13 Preparing potato baskets
Wash, peel and grate the potatoes on a coarse grater. Place the grated potatoes in a sieve and rinse with cold water - this will make them crispy. Dry with a paper towel, sprinkle with tapioca and mix. Cut a few semi-circular fries from the potatoes and fry them as well.
Heat the oil in a pot to 170-180 degrees. We take 2 metal strainers (such as those for powdered sugar or flour - preferably metal), immerse them in the oil for a while. Line one strainer with potatoes - bottom and sides. Press the potatoes with a second strainer and immerse them in oil (be especially careful when frying, use oven gloves). Fry until golden brown. Remove the ready nests from the strainer (if they do not come out, pry them out with a knife or fork and drain the fat on a paper towel, season lightly with salt).
