Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soak 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

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove moisture.

  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 a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano. Toss to coat evenly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack.
