Soak the shoestring potatoes until you're ready to fry them. Put the cut potatoes into a bowl of ice water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Then, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry. Fry the shoestring fries in 350 °F (177 °C) oil for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them. Fry about 1 cup (325 g) of shoestring fries at a time so you don't lower the temperature of the oil too quickly. Method 3
