Fries

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain and dry the soaked potatoes thoroughly. Fry them in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While hot, sprinkle with salt, chopped rosemary, and Aleppo pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with aïoli or your favorite dipping sauce.
