Cooking Directions

Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, then cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.

Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them become crispier when fried.

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