Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika while hot.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy your house-cut French fries!
