Preparing the Potatoes

Cut into Fries
Slice the peeled potatoes into fry shapes, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Ensure they are all of uniform size for even cooking.

Soak in Water
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them become crispy when fried.
Frying the Fries

Heat the Oil
In a large deep pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 6
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a small batch of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
