Next, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized sticks. Soak the potato sticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This helps to remove some of the starch and ensures a crispier fry.

After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. In a large pot, heat the sunflower oil to 325°F. Working in batches, fry the potatoes for about 5 minutes, or until they’re just starting to turn golden. Remove them from the oil and let them cool.

Once all the potatoes have been par-cooked, increase the heat of the oil to 375°F. Fry the potatoes again, in batches, until they are golden brown and crispy. This second fry should take about 3-4 minutes.
