Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a batch of dried potato strips to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
