Allow to soak for 10 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will notice the water begin to foam &#8211; this is an indication of the starch leaving the potatoes. Starch can prevent the potato from turning crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside &#8211; in other words, hold the potato back from being the fried chip it has aspired to be since it was just a little spud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Drain the Potatoes<\/strong> (02:35)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 10 minutes, the water may appear milky (this will depend on the type of potato).
