Hand-cut Fries Ingredients

Method

Hand-cut Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, about 1/2 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to submerge the fries.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hand-cut fries hot, ideally with your favorite dipping sauce.
