After soaking, strain and pat them dry with a paper towel before deep frying until golden brown.
What are some healthy alternatives to deep frying potato strings?
If you're looking for healthier alternatives to deep frying potato strings, consider baking or air frying them.

An air fryer can also achieve a similar result with less oil.

How should I store leftover potato strings?
To store leftover potato strings, allow them to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a day or two, but for longer storage, it's best to refrigerate them. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness before serving.
