Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick matchsticks (about 1/4 inch wide) to create hand-cut fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Remove the fries from the water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, frying them until golden brown (about 4-6 minutes).

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Season immediately with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Repeat frying with the remaining fries. Serve hot and enjoy your hand-cut French fries!
