Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Begin by thoroughly washing the russet potatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from each potato, if desired. Leave the skin on for a rustic texture and extra nutrients.
- 2
Cut the Potatoes
Cut each peeled potato into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries. Try to keep the pieces uniform in size for even cooking.
Cooking
- 3
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispy.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Dry and Fry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
