Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold water. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler.
- 2
Cut into Fries
Using a crinkle cutter, slice the potatoes into crinkle-cut fries, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- 3
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier fry.
Cooking
- 4
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).
- 5
Dry the Fries
Remove the fries from the water and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel to dry thoroughly.
- 6
Fry the Fries
Carefully add a handful of the dried fries to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle immediately with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
- 8
Repeat
Repeat the frying process until all the fries are cooked, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
Serving
- 9
Serve Hot
Serve the crinkle cut fries hot with your choice of dipping sauces, and enjoy!
