Fries
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Serve
Serve the fries hot in a basket or bowl, and enjoy!
