Prepare the Fries
Cut the potatoes into fries and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
Soaking removes excess starch for crispier fries.Heat the Oil

Use a thermometer for accurate temperature.Fry the Potatoes
Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the pot to maintain oil temperature.Drain and Season
Remove fries and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper while hot.
Seasoning while hot helps it stick better.Assemble the Poutine
