Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook uniformly.
Soaking
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Drying
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring they are dry will help achieve a crispier texture.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of dried potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Seasoning
- 7
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
