Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Peel Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. If desired, peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler for a smoother texture.

  2. 2

    Cut Potatoes into Fries

    Cut each potato into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large, deep pan or fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of the cut potatoes to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 5

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once the fries are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  4. 6

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
