a temperature range of 10 °C to 12 °C and a relative humidity of
55%. The potatoes were taken out of storage at least 12 h before
frying to allow for room temperature equilibration and for the reducing
sugar contents to decrease. Once the potatoes were
washed, peeled, and sliced (1.5 0.1 mm), they were rinsed for 2
min and blotted in paper towels to remove surface water before
frying. A 4.5-cm dia cutter mold was used to cut the slices into identical
shapes.
