Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- to taste pepper
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into even sticks and soak in cold water 20 minutes.

- Season again and serve hot.
💡 Chef's tip
Dry the fries completely after soaking - any water left will steam them in the basket.
Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes rinses away surface starch, which is the single biggest factor in fries that crisp instead of going limp.
