Fresh Cut French Fries Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 2
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato sticks in batches to the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
- 5
Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Serve the fresh cut French fries immediately while hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.
