Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature to ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible to avoid oil splatter during frying.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
