Potato Preparation
Method
Frying Process
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the potato strips in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Second Fry
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the previously blanched potatoes in batches for an additional 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on fresh paper towels.
Season and Serve
While still hot, season the fries with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
