Method

Preparation of Fries

1

Cut the Potatoes

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips to make fries.

2

Soak the Fries

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

3

Dry the Fries

Drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels.

4

Fry the Fries

In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
