Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While hot, season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack for the family.
