Fries Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into fry-shaped pieces, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the natural oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the fries.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- 5
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste while they are still hot.
- 6
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your choice of house-made unique salts.
