Fresh-Cut Fries Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Dry the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and any optional toppings while still hot.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fresh-cut fries immediately while they are hot and crispy.
