Detrimental Mistakes You Might Be Making With Your Food

Not Soaking Potatoes Before Making Homemade French Fries

Food & Wine suggests that sliced and rinsed potatoes should be soaked in water overnight for making homemade french fries. It helps remove the starch at the surface of the potato that might have resulted in sticky fries. So, soaking is necessary to get crispy fries on your plate.

But Serious Eats rejects the process and recommends that potatoes should be partially cooked a night before actually making the french fries. It removes extra sugar, browning the fries to an absolute crisp.
