Ingredients
Potatoes
Seasoning
Oil
Preparation
Soaking
3. Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
Frying
4. Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
5. Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
6. Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
7. Drain and Season
Once golden, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
Serving
8. Serve Hot
Serve the shoestring fries immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
