Potato Preparation

Optional Toppings

Method

Frying the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in cold water 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).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked and drained potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While hot, sprinkle with salt.

Adding Optional Toppings

  1. 6

    For Garlic Fries

    In a separate pan, sauté minced garlic in a little oil until fragrant. Toss the hot fries in the garlic oil before serving.

  2. 7

    For Cheese Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle shredded cheese over them and allow it to melt slightly before serving.
