Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and improve crispiness.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the potatoes for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
