Fries Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, even slices, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they are as dry as possible.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a batch of the dried potato slices to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the fries. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
