Fries Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

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

3. 3

   Preheat the Oil

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

4. 4

   Dry the Potatoes

   Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

5. 5

   Fry the Potatoes

   Carefully add the dried potato sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy.

6. 6

   Drain and Season

   Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack.
