Method
Preparation
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Cooking
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, pour in 4 cups of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving crispy fries.
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) to taste. Toss gently to ensure even seasoning.
Serving
Serve the Fries
Serve the fries immediately while hot and crispy. They pair perfectly with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.
