Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly, then peel them if desired. Cut each potato into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
