1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

   Soak the Potatoes

   Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

4. 4

   Fry the Potatoes

   Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season the fries with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
