Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  3. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of dried potato sticks to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.

  4. 6

    Drain the Fries

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  5. 7

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
