Fries Ingredients
Method
Fries Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form the fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Season the Fries
While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
