Prime Fries Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prep the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/8 inch thick) to create shoe-string fries.

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 the fries crispier.

3. 3

   Drain and Dry

   After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

5. 5

   Fry the Potatoes

   Carefully add a handful of the potato strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Drain and Season

   Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are hot, season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the prime fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
