Cooking steps

1. We peel the potatoes. If the skin is very soft and thin, it can be left unpeeled. Cut into large pieces. Since we will fry the potatoes on a grill, the pieces should be sized so they don't stick together.

   • Potato: 1 kg

2. Boil the potatoes in salted water until half-cooked - they should be slightly (not fully) pierced with a fork.
