Prep the Potatoes:

Wash your potatoes thoroughly (peeling is optional). Cut them into uniform sticks or wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Keeping the size consistent ensures even cooking! π½οΈ

Soak for Crispiness:

Soak the potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps the fries crisp up beautifully. ππ§

Dry and Oil:

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier theyβll get! Now, drizzle them with olive oil or give them a quick spritz with cooking spray. Toss to coat evenly. π§΄β¨
