1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Idaho® potatoes and sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps in achieving a crispier fry.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel. Fry the Idaho® potato sticks in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Fry the Sweet Potatoes
Repeat the frying process with the sweet potato sticks, frying them for about 4-6 minutes or until they are golden brown.
6
Season and Serve
Season both the fries and the sweet potato fries with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
