Fries
Fry Sauce
Method
Prepare the Fries
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform fries, about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to avoid splattering when frying.
Fry the Fries
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Season with Nori Salt
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with nori flakes and sea salt, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Make the Fry Sauce
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and hot sauce. Stir until well blended.
