Fries

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide, to create fries.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.

  3. 3

    Drying the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Frying the Fries

    Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove fries and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Seasoning the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 7

    Preparing the Long Hot Peppers

    Wash the long hot peppers and slice them thinly. Remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.

  2. 8

    Assembling the Dish

    Once the fries are ready, layer the hot fries on a serving platter. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced long hot peppers, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
