Pounds Fries Recipe

Pounds Fries Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

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

3. 3

   Dry the Potatoes

   Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Potatoes

   Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Season the Fries

   Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle on top of the fries before serving. Enjoy your Pounds Fries hot!
