Jumbo French Fries Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thick slices, approximately 1 inch wide, to create jumbo fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
- 3
Dry the Fries
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
- 4
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).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the jumbo French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
