Why does everyone say fries need a soak? Mine come out better straight from the bag
I skipped the 30 minute ice bath on a Tuesday and they crisped up in 12 minutes at 400 with just a shake of oil. Anyone else think the soak thing is just something we all repeat without testing?
Man, this is the kind of thing that makes me question everything I do in the kitchen. What made you decide to skip the soak that day, was it just being in a rush or did you already think the whole thing was nonsense? If the outside really does get that crisp without it, I might be wasting a half hour of my life every time.
