Fries and Toppings
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch for a crispier fry.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain and dry the soaked fries thoroughly. Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Add Toppings
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top. Season with salt and black pepper.
- 6
Serve with Ranch
Serve the fries immediately with Whippoorwill Ranch for dipping.
