Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Dry the Fries

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
