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

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes (First Fry)
Carefully add the dried potato sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until the fries are soft but not browned. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels again.
