Moisture is the enemy of homemade crispy French fries, but you can take down this
foe with the help of a simple kitchen tool: the salad spinner.
Using a salad spinner to dry your potatoes before you pop them in the fry oil may seem unconventional, but it can make a significant difference in both texture and crispiness.
Put your cut potatoes in a salad spinner and spin the basket vigorously. After spinning, pat the fries dry with paper towels to ensure they are dry. Now, you're ready to fry.
