Potato Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of the cut potatoes to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried potatoes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Repeat the frying process with the remaining potatoes. Serve hot as a side dish or snack.
