we want to make sure they are evenly cutso that they cook evenly in the oven.
And the next step could be the most important forgetting your crispy fries and that is soaking them.

This draws out excess starch whichhelps them to cook through better.
And it helps them to crisp up on the outside whilestaying tender on the inside without burning.
Once soaked, you can strain out your fries andpat them down with a towel until they are dry.
Put them into a zip lock bag andadd a little bit of corn starch.

You want to make sure you leave a little bit ofair in the bag so that they can coat thoroughly.
You may need to do this in two bagsdepending on how many fries you are making.
In a large mixing bowl you can add your coated fries along with a little bit of coconut oil and garlic powder.
We are going to wait until later to add the saltbecause adding it before is one of the things
that can make them go limp when they are cooking. Linebaking sheets with foil, shiny side down and spray.
