Cutting the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.

Soaking the Fries
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.

Drying the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Adding Broth
Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle boil.
