Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, resembling French fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Remove and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While hot, season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot, and enjoy!
