Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick for even frying.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them become crispier.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Dry the Fries

    Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the potatoes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a side dish to your favorite meal.
