Fries Ingredients
Method
Fries Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Soak the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
- 3
Dry the Fries
Drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
- 6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
