### Chefs’ Top Tips for Finger-Licking Crispy Fries at Home
There’s nothing quite like a perfectly crispy, golden batch of fries—crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and so good you can’t stop eating them. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just craving that perfect fry fix, achieving restaurant-quality crispy fries at home is easier than you think. Here are some expert chefs’ tips to help you get those finger-licking fries every time.
#### 1. Choose the Right Potato
Not all potatoes are created equal when it comes to fries. Chefs swear by starchy varieties like Russets or Idaho potatoes because they have a higher starch content and lower moisture. This combination helps create that crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender and fluffy.
#### 2. Cut Them Evenly
Consistency is key. Try to cut your fries into uniform sticks, about ¼ to ½ inch thick. This ensures even cooking so every fry crisps up beautifully without some burning while others stay soggy.
#### 3. Rinse and Soak
Here’s a game-changer: after cutting, rinse your fries thoroughly in cold water to wash away excess surface starch, which can cause fries to stick together and cook unevenly. For extra crispiness, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes or even overnight. This step draws out even more starch and helps achieve that perfect crunch.
