Fries
Fry Sauce
Method
Prepare the Fries
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform fries, about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.
- 2
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.
- 3
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
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
Season with Nori Salt
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with nori flakes and sea salt, tossing gently to coat evenly.
