House Fries

Method

House Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut fries in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add a batch of fries to the oil, ensuring 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.

  4. 4

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, season them with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss to evenly coat.

Dipping Sauces Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Pepper Ranch Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, and ranch seasoning mix. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  2. 6

    Prepare Mac’s Barbecue Sauce

    In another bowl, pour in the barbecue sauce. This will serve as your Mac’s Barbecue dipping sauce.

  3. 7

    Prepare Jalapeno Honey Mustard

    In a small bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped jalapeño peppers. Stir until well combined.
