Potato Preparation
Optional Seasoning
Method
Frying the Potatoes
Prep the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove moisture.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato sticks to the hot oil, being cautious to avoid splattering. Fry them in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Season
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and optional seasonings like garlic powder and paprika, if desired.
