Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips (about 1/4 inch wide) to create hand-cut fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier when fried.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pot) and fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Season and Serve
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
