Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked and drained fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a snack or side dish.
