Herb Garlic Mixture
Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Cutting the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into even-sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soaking the Fries
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- 3
Drying the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible to prevent oil splatter during frying.
Frying the Fries

Heating the Oil
In a large deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Frying the Fries
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Continue frying the remaining batches of fries, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
