Step 1) Peel the skin off the potatoes and trim off the potatoes and rinse it in water. Trim off the edges to get equal sized fries otherwise you can leave them.
Then slice the potatoes vertically and then cut then into medium sized stick. Do not cut too thin if the stick is thin then the fries will become very hard on the outside
Now immediately after slicing add it to cold water to
prevent from discoloring and continue with the rest of the potatoes.
Step 2)
Now the next step is to leave the potatoes in water for minimum 1-2 hours or you can also refrigerate it overnight. This is the fundamental first step of making proper french fries. The soaking process removes the starch on the outside of the potato, this helps to remove the excess starch from the potatoes and it stays crispy when we fry them.
