Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with two sides of creamy cheese sauce for dipping.
