Fish Camp Fries
Method
Fish Camp Fries Preparation
Preparing the Potatoes
Begin by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
Soaking the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispier fries.
Heating the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate temperature control.
Drying the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using paper towels. This step is crucial as excess moisture can cause the oil to splatter.
Frying the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Seasoning the Fries
Once fried, remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic/onion powder while they are still hot.
Garnishing
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the fries for a fresh flavor and appealing presentation.
Serving
Serve the Fish Camp Fries hot alongside your favorite fish dishes or as a standalone snack.
