Potato Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet 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 let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack.
