Method
Preparation

- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the crinkle-cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 4
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial to avoid oil splatter.
- 5
Fry the Fries
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, 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 salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings you desire.
