Method
For the Shoestring Fries
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, shoestring-sized strips, about 1/8 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to ensure they fry properly.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Chill
Refrigerate the truffle ranch for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
