Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under running water. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler.
- 2
Cut Potatoes into Fries
Slice the peeled potatoes into even sticks about 1/4 inch thick. Ensure uniformity for even cooking.
- 3
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps achieve crispiness.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the proper temperature.
- 5
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 6
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a small batch of the dried fries to the hot oil. Fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- 7
Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the fries using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
- 8
Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining fries, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent.
