Method
Potato Preparation
- 1
Prepare Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the potato strips under cold water to remove excess starch.
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Soak the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to achieve a crispier texture once fried.
- 3
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Season Potatoes
In a mixing bowl, toss the dried potato strips with salt and pepper until evenly coated.
Frying
- 5
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or a fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add the seasoned potato strips to the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- 7
Drain and Cool
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining batches.
- 8
Serve
Serve the small French fries hot, optionally with your choice of dipping sauce.
