Potato Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prep the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Batch fry the potato strips in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. 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. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
