Fries Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized sticks (about 1/4 inch thick) for uniform cooking.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the house cut fries hot, with your favorite dipping sauces.
