Fries Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Preparation
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soaking
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 3
Heating Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Frying
Carefully add a handful of the potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Draining
Remove the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining potato strips.
- 6
Seasoning
While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
