Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    First Fry

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (163°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Cooling Period

    Let the fries cool for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Second Fry

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the cooled potatoes in batches for another 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Seasoning

    Immediately sprinkle the fries with salt while they are still hot. Serve hot.
