Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fries.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the proper temperature.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even cooking.
