Hand-Cut Fries Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized strips (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick) to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Preheat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature.
- 4
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
