Method
Potato Preparation
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl filled with water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Frying Instructions
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
Once the fries are drained, immediately sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste while they are still hot.
Serve
Serve the fries hot as a side dish with your favorite dipping sauces.
