Fries

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut each potato into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    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, resulting in crispier fries.

  3. 3

    Drying the Fries

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

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of potato into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

  5. 5

    Frying the Potatoes

    Carefully add the fries to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the potatoes for 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Draining the Fries

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season immediately with salt and black pepper.

Making the Sour Cream Dip

  1. 7

    Combining Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped chives, garlic powder, lemon juice, and salt.

  2. 8

    Mixing the Dip

    Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  3. 9

    Serving

    Transfer the sour cream dip to a serving bowl and place it alongside the crispy fries. Enjoy!
