Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut each potato into thick strips to create hand-cut fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps achieve a crispier texture.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel 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). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries 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 from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika as desired.
- 7
Serve
Serve the hand-cut fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
