Fries

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt and black pepper to taste.

Spread

  1. 7

    Mix the Spread

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice. Stir until well blended.

  2. 8

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more garlic powder or paprika according to your preference.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and serve alongside the hot fries.
