- Soak the fries: Add the cut potatoes to a large bowl of cold water. Soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch (this helps them get crisp!).

- Season: Toss the dry fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until coated.2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt
