Fries
All American Sauce
Loaded Toppings (optional)
Garlic Parmesan Topping (optional)
Chili Topping (optional)
Method
Preparing the Fries
Cutting the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Soaking the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
Frying the Potatoes
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Draining and Seasoning
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Making the All American Sauce
Mixing the Sauce
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
Preparing Optional Toppings
Loaded Topping Preparation
If making loaded fries, combine shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions in a bowl.
Chili Topping Preparation
Heat the cooked chili in a saucepan until warmed through.
Serving
Assembling the Dish
Serve the fries hot with a side of All American sauce. Add optional toppings as desired (loaded, garlic parm, or chili). Enjoy!
