Fries
Sour Cream Dip
Method
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.
