Heat Oil
In a large, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Fry Potatoes (First Batch)
Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-6 minutes until they are pale and soft but not browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Fry Potatoes (Second Batch)
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Add the partially cooked fries back to the oil in batches and fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
