💡 For extra crispy fries, dry the potato slices thoroughly before frying.You can double-fry the potatoes for enhanced crunchiness. Fry them for 2-3 minutes first, remove them from the oil to cool, then fry again until golden.Avoid overcrowding the pan or deep fryer, as it can lower the oil's temperature and result in soggy fries.Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature, as this is key to achieving the perfect texture.
