Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Cutting the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they fry evenly.
- 2
Soaking the Fries
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps achieve crispiness.
- 3
Drying the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Make sure they are as dry as possible to avoid steaming during frying.
- 4
Heating the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature for frying.

Frying the Fries
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
