Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into even-sized strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure uniform cooking.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potato strips into 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.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep pot or a deep-fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid oil splatter and achieve a crispy texture.

  3. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a batch of potato strips to the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the hot fries to a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with ketchup and Sriracha sauce on the side for dipping.
