French Fries
Method
Preparing the French Fries
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Let the cut potatoes soak in the cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will make the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Immediately sprinkle with salt and black pepper while they are still hot.
