Fries

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Potatoes

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

2

Preheat the Oil

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

3

Dry the Potatoes

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

4

Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

5

Season the Fries

While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. Toss to ensure even coating.

6

Serve

Serve the crispy fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
