Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the soaked potatoes in batches for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and, if desired, Cajun seasoning for a spicy alternative.
