Method
Preparing the Fries
Cutting the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
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 to remove excess starch.
Drying the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This is important for achieving a crispy texture when frying.
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 oil is the right temperature.
Frying the Fries
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Seasoning
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the fries gently to ensure even seasoning.
Assembling the Bowl of Fries
Layering the Ingredients
In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, place a generous portion of the seasoned fries at the bottom.
Adding Toppings
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the hot fries, allowing it to melt slightly. Then add the chopped green onions, sour cream, and bacon bits on top.
Serving
Serve the bowl of fries immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy with additional toppings or condiments if desired.
