Notes
Halloumi cheese has a high melting point, allowing it to become crispy without melting.Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the fries cook evenly and become crispy.Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.If the cheese is very salty, you can briefly rinse or soak it in water before cooking.
