How to Fry French Fries With Only 1 Teaspoon of Oil

Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch sticks. For three to four people, you'll need two russet potatoes. Immediately submerge the potatoes in cold water and allow for them to soak for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour. I put the bowl in the fridge to keep it cool. Soaking the fries draws out the starch from the exterior so they don't stick together when cooking.
