Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips to form fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
- 6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
