Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Fry the Potatoes (First Fry)
Drain and pat the potato strips dry. Fry them in batches for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
