Method
Preparation

Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large, deep pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature or drop a small piece of potato in; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which can cause the oil to splatter.
- 5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

Season Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to evenly coat.
