Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into 1/4-inch thick strips to create fries.

Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
