- Add ½–1 US tbsp / 8–15 mL oil for crispiness.
- When making fries from raw potatoes, soak uncooked fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch. Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.
- Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier results. Try cutting fries into ¼- by 3-inch / 0.6- by 7.6-cm strips.
