Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- 6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and black pepper to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries immediately while hot as a side dish or snack.
