Method
Cooking Directions

- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for best results.

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

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
