Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the fries.
- 3
Fry the Potatoes
Drain and pat the potato strips dry. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- 4
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5
Serve
Serve the fries hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
