Fries Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to resemble French fries.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the potato strips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Make sure they are completely dry to avoid oil splatter during frying.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, season with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries hot in a basket or on a plate. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
