Preparation

- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
Remove the soaked potato strips from the water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 4-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 7
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss lightly to ensure even coating.

Serve
Serve the French fries immediately while hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
