Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
