Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
