Method
Fries Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato sticks in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them become crispier.
- 3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the proper temperature.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato sticks to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle them with salt and any optional seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
