Potato Preparation
Method
Cooking Steps
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
