Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a small batch of the fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Season the Fries
Sprinkle the fries with salt and black pepper to taste while they are still hot.
- 7
Serve
Serve the crispy french fries warm as a side dish or snack.
