Fries Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a portion of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the large fries hot, and enjoy!
