Fries

Method

Preparation of Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the water and pat the potato strips dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture.

Frying the Fries

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in small batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt immediately.

Seasoning the Fries

  1. 7

    Add Seasoning

    In a large bowl, combine the hot fries with the chopped parsley, dried oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
