Critical Success Points

  • Boil potatoes only until just tender; overcooking makes them fall apart during frying.
  • Fry potatoes on medium‑high heat without crowding the pan to achieve a golden crust.
  • Add lemon juice near the end; prolonged cooking can make the sauce bitter.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatter burns.
  • Boiling water can cause severe burns; use pot handles and keep children away.
  • Use a sharp knife on a stable cutting board to prevent cuts.
