Cooking Instructions for Hand-Cut Fries/Sweet Potato Fries
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet and sweet potatoes. Cut them into even strips about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
- 3
Dry the Fries
Drain the soaked fries and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Working in batches, carefully add the fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- 7
Serve
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
