Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry them in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika while they are still hot.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
