Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes
In small batches, carefully add the dried potatoes to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they are pale and soft, but not browned. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
