French Fries Preparation

Cut the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps in achieving crispy fries.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain and thoroughly dry the potato strips using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

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

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
