Fresh Fries Ingredients

Method

Directions for Fresh Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or desired fry shape.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fresh fries hot and enjoy!
