For extra crispy fries, soak the potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch. Pat them dry thoroughly before adding them to the hot oil. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings. Garlic powder, paprika, or a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a delicious twist. If you prefer softer fries, cover the skillet for the first 10 minutes of cooking to steam the potatoes before allowing them to brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or sriracha mayo.
