Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a batch of the soaked and dried potato strips to the hot oil. 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 the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them generously with flake sea salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
