Heat the Oil
In a large pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of potato; it should sizzle immediately.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve maximum crispiness.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
