Pommes Frites Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Make the Roasted Red Pepper Mayo

    In a blender, combine the roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry them in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt and herbs de Provence.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Pommes Frites hot with the roasted red pepper mayo on the side for dipping.
