Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preparing the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Frying the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Draining and Seasoning

    Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serving

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
