Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Preparation

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

  2. 2

    Soaking

    Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Drying

    Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture.

  4. 4

    Heating Oil

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

  5. 5

    Frying

    Fry the potatoes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook each batch for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Draining

    Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

  7. 7

    Seasoning

    While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Serving

    Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy fries!
