Tips
Soaking the potatoes in cold water for an extended period helps to remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for each frying stage to achieve the best texture.
Do not overcrowd the fryer; fry the potatoes in batches if necessary.
Patting the fries completely dry after the first fry is crucial to prevent oil splattering and ensure crispiness.
