Ingredients for Papas Fritas

Method

Directions for Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Idaho potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry them in the hot oil in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and furikake seasoning.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with a generous drizzle of acevichado sauce on top.
