Sea Salt Fries
Method
Sea Salt Fries Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes for crispier fries.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
