I used to soak my fries in water for an hour, now I just rinse them for 30 seconds. The texture is way better.

Soaking fries for an hour seems like overkill. What's the actual benefit you found from the longer soak versus the quick rinse?

Honestly @jamesroberts, the hour soak pulls way more starch out. Quick rinse doesn't cut it, your fries end up soggy.

But I'm with @jamesroberts on this... the hour soak makes them too waterlogged inside. A quick rinse gets the starch off the surface without ruining the potato's own texture. You still get a crisp fry without the mush.
