Potato Preparation
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 3
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve
Serve the French fries hot, with your choice of dipping sauces.
