Key Questions Answered
The main secret behind achieving a restaurant-style crispy texture is double-frying the potato pieces. First, fry them in deep oil for 3 to 4 minutes, let them cool, and then fry them a second time in hot oil until golden brown.
Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 10 minutes helps remove excess starch. Eliminating this extra starch is essential to prevent the fries from sticking together and ensures they turn out crispy rather than limp.
After soaking, you should place the potato pieces into boiling water mixed with a little salt and boil them for 3 to 4 minutes. Once boiled, remove them and dry them thoroughly on a kitchen towel before proceeding to fry.
