Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps in achieving a crispier fry.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potatoes to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
