Pommes Frites Recipe

Pommes Frites Directions

1. 1

   Preparing the Potatoes

   Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Drying the Potatoes

   Drain and thoroughly dry the soaked potatoes with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

3. 3

   Frying the Potatoes

   In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Seasoning

   While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.
