Frites Preparation Instructions

1

Prep the Potatoes

Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

2

Dry the Potatoes

After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

3

Heat the Oil

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

4

Fry the Frites

Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches to the hot oil, frying them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pot.

5

Drain and Season

Using a slotted spoon, remove the frites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste while they are still hot.

6

Serve

Serve the frites hot as a delicious side dish or snack with your favorite dipping sauces.
