Potato Preparation
Method
Frying Process
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potato Strips
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.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes 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 the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the French fries hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauces.
