Ingredients
Fries
Sour Cream Dip
Preparing the Fries
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. 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. Drying the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
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. 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. 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
7. Combining Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped chives, garlic powder, lemon juice, and salt.
8. Mixing the Dip
Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
9. Serving
Transfer the sour cream dip to a serving bowl and place it alongside the crispy fries. Enjoy!
